Chelsea star Billy Gilmour praises impact of Cesc Fabregas on his development


Gilmour: “Growing up Iniesta, Xavi, Fabregas were the type of players I would base my game around, how I play. Fabregas' one-touch play and playing around the corner, how he could get out of tight areas, it was incredible. There was no better player to pick


and when I came into first-team training a few times when he was there, it was great to see him. I could watch him in training and see how he put it into a game. I was trying to take some of that stuff from training with him and take it into my game.”


Gilmour: “In training, I am always watching Kovacic & Jorginho, trying to copy what they are doing. They've been brilliant with me off the pitch as well. They're always talking to me, just asking about my upbringing, what it was like at Rangers and getting to know me"

Gilmour: “They are helping me out. It’s quite surreal. They are top players and I train with them and play with them week in, week out. It is something I can only dream of.”

The Scottish Midfielder made his full Premier League debut for Chelsea vs Everton, the youngest player to start a game for the club in the competition this season.


The 18 years midfielder  had amazing stats against Everton :
