Norwich boss Smith makes call on loan pair Gilmour, Williams

Norwich City loan pair Billy Gilmour and Brandon Williams will see out the season at Carrow Road.

It's been suggested Chelsea were considering recalling Scotland international Gilmour due to a lack of game time under former City head coach Daniel Farke.

Dean Smith's arrival at Carrow Road has resulted in an increased amount of football for Gilmour, who has now played enough games to activate a clause that will see him remain in Norfolk for the rest of the season, as reported by the Athletic earlier this month.

That makes a return to Chelsea or a move elsewhere unlikely, with Gilmour thought to be enjoying life under Smith and his newfound role in City's set-up, reports the Pink 'Un.

Smith has praised both young players for their application and efforts since he joined the club last month, describing them as feeling like 'permanent members' of the squad.
