Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour is excited about his season-long loan move to Norwich City.

Gilmour, aged 20, arrives at City following a successful 2020-21 campaign with Chelsea. He made a total of 11 senior appearances in all competitions, as Chelsea finished fourth in the Premier League and won their second UEFA Champions League title.

He said: “I'm very excited to be here. I can't wait for the season ahead. I've been looking forward to coming here, playing as much as possible and helping Norwich City compete in the Premier League.

“I spoke to the head coach [Daniel Farke] here. He called me and we had a nice talk about how he wants to play and how he sees me fitting in. Everything he said was what I want to do on the pitch, get the ball down and play nice football. He spoke really highly of his team and I wanted to come join here and help.

“There are very exciting times ahead, coming in for pre-season and seeing all the lads. Let's get to it."
