Moyes insists Chelsea midfielder Gilmour will learn from nightmare Norwich spell

West Ham United manager David Moyes says Billy Gilmour's horror loan spell with Norwich City could be the making of him.

The Chelsea midfielder has endured a rough time at Carrow Road, with home supporters booing his recent performance against Crystal Palace.

Fellow Scot Moyes said: "He is a really, really good footballer. His ability on the ball, knows how to receive a ball, never hides from it.

"I think he has so many good qualities as a young footballer. But wherever he goes it will benefit him in the future.

"He has been at Chelsea and when he has played games there he has been fantastic.

"And the other side of football is that you're not always winning all the time and not always in good teams.

"So, he should learn from it and realise the one thing you want as a footballer is to play in good teams and be winning.

"It makes your job a lot easier than when you are at the bottom of the league and things are much harder."
