EXCLUSIVE

Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Rangers wonderkid Billy Gilmour, Goal understands.

The 15-year-old will move for a fee of around £500,000 in the summer after he was convinced to leave the Scottish Premiership side following a visit to Chelsea's Cobham Training Centre.

The Blues beat off competition from the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Barcelona, who all scouted the youngster. Rangers, meanwhile, were doing all they could to retain their top young talent.
