Huerzeler Provides Insight into Gilmour's Future Following Emotive Plea from Away Fans

This weekend, Brighton secured a 1-0 victory over Southampton, much to the delight of the away fans who serenaded Gilmour with chants of "we want you to stay" after the match. Gilmour graciously accepted the applause alongside his team-mates at Goodison Park.

Gilmour featured as a substitute against the Saints despite not playing in any of the four-pre-season friendlies played in public which led many to believe that the young star was leaving this summer. 

Huerzeler cleared the issue up however after the game as he explained the youngster's future. 

“Billy Gilmour knows how I see him and how my plans are with him. 

“In the end he knows what he has with this club, with his team-mates, I think he feels comfortable. 

“Here he can develop, he's a great player and he's developed well here already. 

“We will see what happens but I'm really glad he's back on the pitch today.” 

Gimour is one of many young stars looking to break into the first team this season and it is clear that fans believe he is good enough.
