Norwich City boss Daniel Farke has defended his management of on-loan Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour.

Farke maintains he is not under any extra pressure to give Gilmour game time in the Premier League – but backed the on-loan Chelsea midfielder to prove himself at the top level.

"Billy is a fantastic player, a fantastic human being and of course he wants to play each and every second," the Norwich boss said.

“If you love football, you love Billy Gilmour because this guy is a baller, but he is also a young lad and we have to look after him.

“It is not always that easy for him with the hype in his own country, with lots of praise for him.

“I think he has a good mindset and works hard on the pitch. He has unbelievable potential."
