Chelsea youngster signs first pro deal

Teenage midfielder Billy Gilmour has signed his first professional contract with Chelsea.

Gilmour, who recently turned 17, was signed from Glasgow Rangers last year and has since been hugely impressive for Chelsea’s Under-18 side.

He has also been capped by Scotland at Under-21 level, with his performances further enhancing his growing reputation.

He was named Best Young Player at the recent Toulon Tournament after helping the Scots reach the semi-finals.
