Billy Gilmour is set for another loan spell away from Chelsea after being released from the first team's pre-season training squad.
The Scotland international was released from the squad alongside Armando Broja, Harvey Vale and Tino Anjorin as the quartet look to sort out their futures away from the club.
Gilmour will join the Blues' development squad, which is currently in Salt Lake ahead of two fixtures between July 19 and 27, while his future is arranged.
The former Rangers youngster enjoyed a promising start to life at Chelsea, making a series of impressive appearances under the last boss Frank Lampard. However, since Thomas Tuchel's arrival in west London, Gilmour has found game time far harder to come by.
Gilmour, 21, was not involved in the club's fixture against Club America in Las Vegas on Sunday and since then reports have suggested that a move away is the likeliest scenario for the player this summer.
Chelsea are relatively well stocked in central midfield, with N'Golo Kante, Jorginho, Mason Mount, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and the returning Conor Gallagher from a loan spell with Crystal Palace all seemingly ahead of Gilmour in the pecking order.
It has been suggested that Lampard remains an admirer of the midfielder and would be keen to bring him to Everton this summer.
Lampard gave Gilmour his first Premier League appearance in August 2019 and the player put in some memorable performances under the former boss. One notable performance from the Scot came in the FA Cup in 2020 when he was influential in Chelsea overcoming Liverpool.
Should that move materialise, Gilmour will hope that he is trusted more by his former boss than he was at Norwich last season when he struggled under manager Daniel Farke before Dean Smith took over.
Meanwhile, it has also been reported that Anjorin is finalising a loan move away from Chelsea.
According to Football.London, a host of clubs, including Coventry, Huddersfield, Norwich and QPR, are interested.

never... he is not half of Jorginho... you guys just don't respect Jorginho enough... yeah he makes mistake and this always happens to a players that holds the ball... he is the only player in Chelsea midfield that can hold and collect ball confidently.... saying Gilmour is better is de valuing Jorginho, a whole European best and so on... who is Gilmour... Gilmour that can't help Norwich.... Put Gallagher in Norwich and you will see wonderful performance. ... Gilmour is not even up to Gallagher yet..
Gilmore as done this and he won man of the match in his two start in that position now what if he keep playing in that same position all this time, I’m sure by now he will be better to JG

Do not disrespect Jorginho boy; Gilmour is not yet strong enough to be our holding Midfielder.
So JJ is now the strong guy that can bully everybody?

if he doesn't know how to bring out the best of our young players, then who brought Chalobah to the limelight. Yes Lampard brought the likes of James, Tomori, Mount and even Abraham, but he was changing chelsea to the level of arsenal. The likes of Werner, Ziyach were signed by Lampard but couldn't use them well before TT came to our rescue and even won UCL and CWC. Chelsea is a big team with big plans. So why don't we wait and judge him later. The likes of the Pep and Klopp you comparing him to build their teams for years before winning s trophies. So my plea to fans is that we should have faith in the process cuz nothing good comes easy
Bro don’t mind this fool he is just saying rubbish. You shouldn’t be replying this fool. Just look at what someone is saying a man that started singing players for the first time since he came to Chelsea. He use the squad that lampard used and almost got us to relegation zone, he brought us out and gave us UCL and WCW that you haven’t won since your history of football. Test this fool is calling him useless.

Billy Gilmour will become a fabulous player, either at Chelsea or elsewhere. . At some point the club needs to give him what he wants, or they lose him forever. . Sending him to the development squad is not the answer.
