Steven Gerrard’s Rangers will fail in their quest to sign Billy Gilmour from Chelsea, according to The Scottish Sun.
What’s the story?
The Scottish Sun are reporting that Rangers want to sign Gilmour from Chelsea on a loan deal.
However, the European champions want the Scotland international midfielder to stay in the Premier League.
Norwich City, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United are among the top-flight English clubs who want to sign Gilmour on a loan deal this summer.
Chelsea are contemplating sending the 20-year-old out on loan for next season.
However, it will not be to Rangers, according to the report.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel wants the former Rangers prospect to continue his progress in the Premier League.
Sensible decision?
Rangers won the Scottish Premiership title last season and could feature in the Champions League in 2021-22.
However, the level of competition in the Scottish top flight is not up to the standards of the Premier League.
Gilmour is 20 and has a long-term future at Chelsea.
For the Scottish youngster to develop and progress further, he needs to continue to play in the Premier League.
