Billy Gilmour

Modelling for Burberry. A boy of classic tastes! The Chelsea midfielder might be young in age but his taste in fashion and cars might take us back a few years!

Born in Glasgow, Scotland in June 2001, it seemed he was always destined for football greatness despite his pint-sized stature. He developed his career with the youth academy of Scottish giants Rangers, and was first-tracked to the first-team due to his exceptional ability on the ball and innate understanding of the game; by the age of 15 the young Scotsman was training with the U20s, and occasionally with he main squad. Europe’s biggest clubs soon took notice and he rejected a professional contract from Rangers to sign for English Premier League powerhouse Chelsea FC in May 2017. His inclusion in Chelsea’s youth side brought immediate success on the field, the ‘Scottish Iniesta’ was the fulcrum of the Blues midfield as the won the U18 Premier League and FA Youth Cup in 2018. Billiesta got his debut for the Blues first-team under manager Frank Lampard, coming on as a substitute against Sheffield United on 31 August 2019. It didn’t take the Scottish wizard long to catch the eye and a midfield masterclass against eventual Premier League champions Liverpool in an FA Cup tie saw the Blues end up 2-0 winners. At the end of the 2019/20 season he had made 11 appearances for Chelsea and was awarded the clubs ‘Academy Player of the Year’.
