The midfielder looks to have a bright future ahead of him and his performances have rightly got many Chelsea FC fans excited about his potential.
Now, Gilmour has revealed that he has tried to model himself on FC Barcelona and Spain legend Iniesta’s displays.
Asked who is footballing inspiration was, Gilmour said: “It was always [Andres] Iniesta.

The Blues have endured a run of patchy form in recent weeks and they have only won two of their last five games in the top flight.
