A great piece of news for Chelsea fans!

According to a report by The Scotsman, former Scotland boss Gordon McLeish has compared Chelsea starlet Billy Gilmour to French legend Patrick Vieira. McLeish, who managed Scotland from 2001 to 2002, has been impressed by Gilmour's performances for Chelsea and Scotland, and believes the 20-year-old midfielder has the potential to become one of the best in the world.

Gilmour, who has already made 15 appearances for Chelsea this season, has been praised for his vision, passing range, and ability to control the tempo of the game. McLeish, who played against Vieira during his playing career, believes that Gilmour has similar qualities to the French legend.

"Billy Gilmour is a fantastic player," McLeish said. "He's got a lot of the qualities that Patrick Vieira had. He's got a great range of passing, he's got vision, he's got the ability to control the game. He's a top, top player."

McLeish also praised Gilmour's ability to play in different positions, saying: "He's a player who can play in different roles. He can play as a number six, he can play as a number eight, he can play as a number ten. He's got that flexibility, which is a great asset for any team."

Gilmour has already made a significant impact at Chelsea, and his performances have not gone unnoticed. He has been capped by Scotland at various youth levels and made his senior debut in September 2020. With his talent and potential, it's exciting to think about what the future holds for this young star!
