Billy Gilmour has been tipped for a loan move out of Chelsea in January.
The talented Scots midfielder burst onto the scene at Stamford Bridge with breakout performances against the likes of Everton and Liverpool last season before injury slowed down his progress.
Ex-Rangers starlet Gilmour is still highly thought of by Chelsea boss Frank Lampard who believes he has a big future in the game. But with the player still sidelined until December, Gilmour has been advised to head out on loan to get his mojo back and try to force his way back into the starting lineup upon his return.
A source close to the player said: "Younger lads that didn't go on-loan will force a move. The Carabao Cup is out of the window for the next two months as the rounds have already been played."
The source, speaking to the Athletic, added: "Fikayo Tomori and Billy Gilmour should go in January."
Gilmour, 19, has played 11 times for the Blues first-team since his debut against Sheffield United in the Premier League.
