'I won't let it get to him... I'll keep him grounded': Chelsea star Mason Mount promises to ensure Billy Gilmour stays level headed after the youngster's breakthrough at Stamford Bridge

Chelsea starlet Billy Gilmour will keep his feet on the ground despite rave reviews around his recent performances, says team-mate Mason Mount.

The young midfielder has made quite the impression after breaking through at Stamford Bridge, with manager Frank Lampard starting him in the last two games against Liverpool and Everton.

And Mount, who knows what it's like to come through the ranks at Chelsea, believes Gilmour will keep his head down even with pundits and supporters waxing lyrical about his displays. 'He is very grounded,' he said. 'He has got a very, very good family around him and he is a very screwed-on boy so that won't get to him at all.
