Daniel Farke's Norwich City side should consider making a move for Billy Gilmour this summer.

What's the talk?

That's according to former Canaries star 'Jon Newsome, who, in an interview with This is Futbol, stated his belief that the Chelsea midfielder would be a "fantastic" signing for newly-promoted City.

The former defender's remarks come following a report by The Athletic, who revealed that Thomas Tuchel's side will be looking to loan the 19-year-old out this summer in order for him to gain first-team experience.

Newsome said: "What a fantastic signing he would be, and I think it's good for Billy Gilmour. He needs to get out and play games; he needs football out on the grass. Is he going to break into the side at the moment? I can't really see it happening. So, yes, he needs to get out and what better place to go than Norwich City?"

Webber must move

Having made his Chelsea debut under Frank Lampard back in 2019, Gilmour has so far gone on to make 22 appearances for the Blues in all competitions.

However, only five of these came in the Premier League last season, something that is not overly surprising when considering that Tuchel has the likes of Jorginho, N'Golo Kante and Mateo Kovacic as options in the middle of the park.

And, with it being confirmed that Norwich have released both Alexander Tettey and Mario Vrancic this summer, in addition to Oliver Skipp returning to Tottenham Hotspur and Kenny McLean being ruled out for 12 weeks due to injury, central midfield certainly appears an area in which Daniel Farke needs to strengthen ahead of City's Premier League campaign.

As such, Newsome's suggestion of a move for Gilmour would indeed appear to suit both Chelsea and Norwich, as the Blues would be allowing the youngster to gain valuable Premier League experience, while Norwich would gain the services of a highly promising midfielder who was recently credited with bossing the Manchester City midfield in Chelsea's 2-1 victory over Pep Guardiola's side.

Indeed, picking up Gilmour would certainly go a long way in softening Farke's blow of losing Skipp, meaning that we completely agree with the assessment of Newsome, and believe it would be highly advisable for Stuart Webber to do all he can to convince the £6.3m-rated 19-year-old of a move to Carrow Road this summer.
