Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits he's excited seeing Billy Gilmour breakthrough at Chelsea.

Redknapp is keeping a keen eye on proceedings at Stamford Bridge with his nephew, Frank Lampard, in charge at Chelsea.

"What about the little boy Billy Gilmour? What a footballer he looks," Redknapp told Sky Sports.

"A throwback to the old days of a little midfielder who can play and is too clever for anyone to get near him to kick him.

"He just sees everything before the ball comes, he knows where his next pass is.

"I love watching him play and Chelsea have some amazing young players."
