Chelsea whiz Gilmour happy in two midfield roles

Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour says he's happy playing anywhere in the middle of the park.

Gilmour has been played as both an anchor and an advanced playmaker by manager Frank Lampard.

He told the club's website: "When you're playing deeper, you're more likely to go and receive the ball from the defenders, dictate play, create opportunities and also protect the defence. "It's similar in the number eight position but you're doing it in a more attacking sense where you need to make the box and make more forward runs.

"I don't really have a preference. I enjoy playing both positions. I'll happily do whatever I'm asked to do because I know that I've done both in my career so far."
