The Scotland international, who is currently on a season-long loan at the struggling Canaries, impressed for Dean Smith‘s team as they were beaten 1-0 by Manchester United on Saturday evening.

Gilmour came very close to scoring for Norwich at Carrow Road, with his low shot deflected just wide of United’s goal, with the 20-year-old really standing out for the hosts in the centre of midfield.

With Chelsea’s injury problems in midfield, that sees Mateo Kovacic (Covid) and N’Golo Kante (injury) both sidelined at the moment, the likes of Gilmour and Conor Gallagher have both been linked with returning from their respective loan spells – though football.london understands that Gallagher is not expecting to return to Stamford Bridge before the end of the season.
