Going on to explain why he thinks Gilmour would benefit more from staying with the Londoner’s first-team, Souness drew some fair comparisons to the situation Manchester City’s Phil Foden found himself in two seasons ago.

Gilmour will.have more game time in lesser EPL clubs but it can never be the same like the situation in CFC, where the highest level is expected. Also Jorginho would be made to be on his feet with Gilmour by the sidelines. Janet won’t be missed much if and when he gets injured.
