Today’s fluff has teeth, white and clean
Pep Guardiola is already working out how to wrestle the
Premier League title away from champions-elect
Liverpool next season – and he’s figured that he needs a midfield tyro with experience of bossing a game against Jürgen Klopp’s side. He doesn’t necessarily have to be big in stature and if he did happen to have a Glaswegian accent and a name that makes him sound like a character from Roy of the Rovers then all the better. So step forward Billy Gilmour!
Yes, hot air in the tabloids suggests the
Manchester City manager was so bowled over by the 18-year-old’s metronomic masterclass in Chelsea’s 2-0 FA Cup win over Liverpool that he has made Gilmour a key summer target. Poor Phil Foden. Is he over the hill already at 19? City will apparently have competition from
Real Madrid and
Barcelona, mind. The Spanish behemoths are always ready to stick their oar in when there’s an obvious transfer target about.
