Ex-Chelsea pair tip youngster to replace Jorginho

Billy Gilmour is being tipped to replace Jorginho at Chelsea.

Gilmour is currently on-loan with Norwich City this season.

And former Blues striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has identified him as the player to take Jorginho's place.

The Dutch forward said: "Chelsea bought Jorginho a few years ago and they now have this boy coming through and I think he will take Jorginho's place. He has more [about him] than Jorginho. He is a really, really good talent."

Glenn Hoddle had a similar thought following England vs Scotland in the summer of 2021. The former Blues boss said: "He's instantly the replacement for Jorginho at Chelsea, they won't have to look in the market for someone because he is already there, learning and developing into a great player."
