Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour is expected to agree a loan move before the January transfer window closes.
The 19-year-old was left out of the Blues’ squad for their home game against Burnley on Sunday, sparking talk that he could be on his way out of the club.
According to The Athletic’s Simon Johnson, Gilmour was already considering a loan when Frank Lampard was still in charge.

Although Gilmour is highly rated at Chelsea, he is unlikely to see much game time given how much competition there is for places at Stamford Bridge.
