West Ham boss Moyes: I'd sign Chelsea kid Gilmour tomorrow

West Ham boss David Moyes says the one signing he'd make would be Chelsea youngster Billy Gilmour.

Moyes admits he's been blown away by the kid's development under the tutelage of Frank Lampard and Jody Morris at Stamford Bridge.

"The one I'd sign tomorrow would be Billy Gilmour from Chelsea," the veteran manager admitted to BBC Sportsound. "He's looked like a seasoned pro.

"He looks as if he is hungry and in love with the game.

"He is typical of what my memories are of what Scottish players were like going back many, many years and what they were like when we always had good players and really talented football players as well.

"And Billy Gilmour in the short period I have seen him has looked that all day long.

"And I hope so because we need to start getting a Scottish national team that gives us some hope but he's certainly a really talented young player."
