Liverpool hero Graeme Souness has hailed the talent of Billy Gilmour and says Chelsea shouldn't send him out on-loan.
Gilmour, 20, was man of the match for Scotland against England at Euro 2020 but is behind N'Golo Kante, Jorginho and Mateo Kovacic in Thomas Tuchel's midfield pecking order, with newly-promoted Norwich leading to race to sign him on loan.
Souness told Sky Sports News: "I'd personally keep him at Chelsea. I think Jorginho has to be looking over his shoulder. He'll be challenging him more than anyone else. I look at Phil Foden at City and Pep didn't let him go out on loan.
"I look back on my own career and think how did I improve - there was no words of wisdom, no sentence any coach said to me, there was no watershed moment in my career where I turned a corner.
"What made me better, I was 23, went to Liverpool, arguably the best team in the world - certainly the best team in Europe - and I was playing with fabulous players in training every single day.
"I learnt to think quicker, to improve my touch, move the ball quicker and just being around winners - Chelsea have got bundles of them - that will improve him more than playing in a lesser team where it's a battle every week. That's how I see it, Phil Foden is an argument for that."
