Keen to deal in Gilmour

Saints manager Callum Davidson was this week hopeful of getting a deal sorted for Charlie Gilmour.

The former Arsenal midfielder, on the Perth radar for a while, has impressed during a spell training with the club.

Gilmour (21) was most recently signed with Norwich and spent a season on loan at Dutch second division side Telstar.

“I hope to get something sorted with Charlie later this week,”Davidson had said on Tuesday.

“He’s missed a bit of football but is one for the future. He’s got good size and is very good technically, so he’s the kind of player we want to bring in.

“I looked at it with the chairman and we have a bit of a gap with our midfielders because we have a few older ones then it’s Ali McCann.

“So Charlie coming in would give us another young one in there and a good balance.”
