Norwich City boss Daniel Farke is delighted with the early impressions of loan signing Billy Gilmour from Chelsea.

Gilmour, who completed a season-long loan move to Carrow Road a fortnight ago, has only just joined up with his new team-mates this week after taking some time off following his participation at Euro 2020 with Scotland.

The 20-year-old only got to take part in Friday morning's session before being thrown straight into the action against King's Lynn Town later that day.

And he showed glimpses of quality during his 45-minute cameo, as the Canaries ran out 3-1 winners in the Norfolk derby, leaving Farke to applaud his efforts.

"Billy is a fantastic character, he was just yesterday [Thursday] involved in testing and he had the first training session with the team this morning," Farke told the club's official website. "We got the feeling sometimes it's good to throw the lads into cold water.

"It was a bit difficult for him but he showed some nice glimpses. He was there with a good workload, it's important for him to get the feeling straight away.

"It's also important for Milot (Rashica), it's been a tough summer for him. He's working on his fitness and it was important for him to have his first minutes."

He added: "We got the feeling that he can help us a lot with his ability to link the play, his technical qualities and also his work against the ball. From the football point of view, but also from his character he is the perfect fit for us.

"He will help us to achieve our targets. We still have to keep in mind that he is an unbelievably young guy and that he hasn't played regularly on this level. We have to give him some time and space to improve and find his rhythm."
