Gilmour Set For Norwich Medical Ahead Of Loan Move  (Sky Sports)

Billy GilmourChelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour is to have a medical at Norwich on Thursday ahead of a proposed loan deal.

The Scotland midfielder has agreed to join the Canaries for the 2021-22 season and, having tested positive for Covid-19 while at Euro 2020, he will have a medical following the completion of his 10-day isolation period.

Gilmour starred on his full international debut against England on June 18, producing a man-of-the-match performance in the goalless draw at Wembley.

Chelsea are open to the idea of Gilmour going out on loan to play regularly next season but they see his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

The 20-year-old made 11 appearances for the Blues last season, five of which came in the Premier League.

Norwich have already signed goalkeeper Angus Gunn and Kosovo winger Milot Rashica as they prepare for life back in the top flight.

The Canaries' return to the Premier League will begin with Liverpool visiting Carrow Road on the opening day of the season, live on Sky Sports.
