"I know he didn't hit it off at Norwich and I know a lot of fans weren't too happy with that particular signing.

"I don't know if Gilmour was suited to going into a team that was struggling and fighting for survival and didn't have possession of the football.

"Brighton are doing fantastically well, good to watch and I just think that'd be a good move.

"That move excites me - I think it'd be a good move for Billy Gilmour."

Gilmour is not in Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel’s plans this campaign and has also been linked a move to Rangers and Everton.
