Chelsea hero Joe Cole says Billy Gilmour could develop into a No10.

Cole has seen plenty of the teenage Scot coaching inside the Blues academy system.

He told the Daily Star: “Billy was terrific, a real talent. A cultured footballer. He can be what he wants. I like him in that midfield role.

“But I think he might eventually develop and play further up the pitch, like a ten. All Billy needs to do is keep his feet on the ground.

“He's another massive asset for Chelsea. It will all come down to how he performs. Once you've got that shirt it's up to you to deal with it.

“To be where he is and playing how he is is a massive achievement for him and his parents. He's a well-grounded young man."
