Billy Gilmour wants to emulate former Chelsea star

Billy Gilmour wants to emulate Cesc Fabregas’ ability to create from the deep.

The 19-year old has been out of action since last July due to a knee injury and came twice off the bench this campaign in the Premier League.

He will be looking to make his way into the crowded Chelsea midfield as he wants to mimic Fabregas’ career with the Blues.

Cesc Fabregas who won two Premier League titles with Chelsea had the ability in creating attacks from the middle of the park.

‘When I was watching Cesc, it was all about his forward passes to the striker, whether that was a lofted pass, a clipped ball or just a simple through ball,’ Gilmour told Chelsea’s official website.

‘He was one of the best at doing that, especially at Chelsea, and I want to add that more to my own game, but it comes first of all from being aware of what’s around you.

‘He speaks a lot about the boys because he obviously used to be here but it’s always nice seeing a top midfielder like that comment on your game.’
