Billy Gilmour has set his sights on more regular playing time with Albion.

The Scotland midfielder signed a four-year deal last night.

He believes he has found the right destination as he leaves Chelsea.

And a couple of former Stamford Bridge colleagues appear to agree.

Gilmour told brightonandhovealbion.com: “For me, Brighton play great football.

“A style I like to play, nice passing.

“The manager is highly thought of as well. He’s really good.

“I thought I wanted to come here.

“I also know a couple of the players here like Levi (Colwill) and Tariq (Lamptey) so I asked them and they have been telling me how good a club it has been.”

Gilmour had five years at Chelsea after coming south from Rangers.

Asked about leaving the west London club, he said: “Of course, it was a tough decision but I wanted to play football. That was the main aim for me.

“Come and enjoy my football, get regular games, so it was a bit of a no-brainer.”
