McLean hoping Chelsea kid Gilmour makes Norwich move

Norwich City midfielder Kenny McLean hopes to be joined by Scotland teammate Billy Gilmour at Carrow Road.

Chelsea youngster Gilmour is expected to leave the club on loan this summer and Norwich City are said to be the frontrunners for his services.

"I wouldn't mind seeing Billy at Norwich," he told the Daily Record. "We had Oliver Skipp on loan from Spurs last season and he was outstanding for us.

"Billy would fit into our style of play, the way we try to build from the back. That suits him perfectly and getting a full season in the Premier League would benefit him.

"I'm sure he could stay at Chelsea and get minutes. But if he comes to us for a season in a good team playing in the way he wants – it's a no-brainer.

"I don't know where it's at but I'll speak to him at some stage. I definitely think it would suit both parties if it happens."
