Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour will stay at Chelsea until the end of the season amidst rumours of a deadline day loan move.
On Friday, Si Phillips Talks Chelsea reported that the youngster will be staying at Chelsea after positive talks with Thomas Tuchel.
But the day started with reports of Chelsea being in talks with Southampton over a loan move for Gilmour, as reported by The Daily Mail and others.
However, it has since been confirmed by multiple top sources that Gilmour will not be going out on loan today.
Matt Law of The Telegraph, David Ornstein of The Athletic, and Liam Twomey from the same publication have all tweeted the confirmation within the last half an hour.

In addition to the Gilmour news, I’m told Tino Anjorin will be staying at Chelsea. Plenty of loan interest in him from England and Europe this month but he had positive talks with Tuchel this week.

I guess this spells out a very quiet rest of the window for Chelsea, all bar maybe a couple of potential loan departures elsewhere. Anything major happening now though is very doubtful.
Why want to loan him and he has proved himself he can do wonders in that midfield now that we got a expirienced coach he can be better its a great chance for TT let him stay
