Billy Gilmour had a striking performance against Liverpool in the FA Cup for Chelsea earlier this season.
And the 18-year-old, who is one of the most exciting young prospects in the Premier League, proved that he was not unique in having produced a couple of excellent performances for Frank Lampard’s team both in the cup competition and at the top . flight.
After the game against the Reds, his compatriot Andy Robertson offered words of encouragement and the Scottish captain gave the young man his shirt.
When he spoke on the official Chelsea website, Gilmour was asked when was the last time he wore the jersey of a team he was not playing for.

He said, “It was probably Andy Robertson’s Liverpool jersey when I traded with him after the recent FA Cup match.
“I wear that sometimes right now, in the garden playing soccer.”
Gilmour revealed that he also spoke to left-back Robertson after the FA Cup crash in March.
“After the game, I traded shirts with Andy Robertson,” he said recently.
“He came up to me after the game and said, ‘Well done, you played great, keep doing it and I hope to see you on the first team soon.'”
“It was great to hear that from the country captain. Then I asked him if we could swap jerseys and he said ‘no problem let’s do it indoors’ so he was muttering to me.”
“Everyone knows my feelings about representing my country.
“I hope I’m not far away. I just need to keep working hard and see where it takes me.”
