Mateo Kovacic played with Gilmour at Stamford Bridge and Man City midfielder is expecting even more
Mateo Kovacic never doubted Billy Gilmour would go to the top - but he reckons he still has further to climb in his career.
And Manchester City midfielder Kovacic, who spent two years in Italy with Inter Milan a decade ago, said: “I’m not surprised. From the first day I saw him he had a really high quality. He was better than the other young players, he wants to learn, he’s a big talent and I’m sure he will have a big career.
“I like to watch football in general so I watch a lot of games including Napoli. He’s really developed over the last few years and he still has room for further development so I’m looking forward to seeing him tomorrow and playing against him.”
