Billy Gilmour hopes Scottish influence can help him at Norwich
The Chelsea youngster has moved on loan to the Canaries
Scotland youngster Billy Gilmour hopes joining international teammates at Norwich City can help his development.
The 20-year old has moved on a season-long loan to the Canaries from Chelsea as he looks to get consistent game time.
The midfielder impressed for Steve Clarke's side at Euro 2020 where he played a starring role in their 0-0 draw with England at Wembley.
He'll join fellow caps Grant Hanley and Kenny McLean at Carrow Road and is looking forward to working with them on a more regular basis.
Gilmour told the club's official website: "With Grant Hanley, as soon as I came into the Scotland setup, he was with me every day and pestering me! No, he was just talking about how good the club was and I was asking him questions.
"Kenny McLean was texting me, saying ‘are you coming?’ and then when I told them I was coming, they were really happy for me.
"They’re Scottish and both senior players here so they’ll keep me in the right way here. They’ll show me what’s right and I’m looking forward to it".
"I was so proud to represent my country at the EUROs against England at Wembley. It doesn’t get much better than that. I really enjoyed the match, I was gutted about what happened in the end but it was a great step forward for me".
Gilmour was part of the Chelsea squad who won the Champions League last season under Thomas Tuchel.
He'll now play his football this season for Daniel Farke - a close friend of the Stamford Bridge boss.
Gilmour said: "I’m very excited to be here. I can’t wait for the season ahead. I’ve been looking forward to coming here, playing as much as possible and helping Norwich City compete in the Premier League.
"With me, I wanted to play more regularly. Hopefully I’ll do alright in training to get more gametime in the Premier League and to show that I’m ready.
"I spoke to the manager here Daniel Farke. He called me and we had a nice talk about how he wants to play and how he sees me fitting in.
"Everything he said was what I want to do on the pitch, get the ball down and play nice football. He spoke really highly of his team and I wanted to come join here and help".
