Former Chelsea wonderkid Billy Gilmour is reportedly set to leave Brighton in January despite only joining the Premier League side last summer from Chelsea.

According to reporter Matteo Moretto, Brighton will allow Gilmour leave in January with several Spanish clubs interested in signing the Scottish midfielder.

Gilmour was one of the brightest talents to graduate from the Chelsea academy in recent years and was handed his debut by former boss Frank Lampard.

Despite a small frame, the Scottish player had an excellent Premier League debut, bossing the Liverpool midfield.

Did Gilmour make the right career choice joining Norwich on loan last season and leaving Chelsea for Brighton last summer?
