20-year-old Gilmour joined Chelsea from Rangers as a teenager four years ago and he has graduated to the first team squad since then. The Scottish international has played 25 times for the Blues since becoming a part of the Chelsea first team under club legend Frank Lampard last season.
Attention has turned to the immediate future of Gilmour at Chelsea after his Scotland team bowed out of Euro 2020 at the group stage. Gilmour missed the all-important final Group D clash with Croatia due to a positive Covid-19 test and his absence was felt as Scotland lost 3-1 to the Croatians as inspired veteran midfielder Luka Modric.
Gilmour showed his quality at Euro 2020 when he won the best player accolade for the second of the three Scotland group games against England as the two teams played out a goalless draw. He was missed in the final game which saw Modric pull all the strings in midfield for Croatia to beat Scotland and qualify for the knockout stage.
