19 years old Billy Gilmour open up on his Chelsea's nickname given to him by Mason Mount

Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour has admitted team-mate Mason Mount has nicknamed him 'Billy Balboa'
The 19-year-old wonderkid also discussed modelling for Burberry and being the footballing 'lovechild' of Xavi and Andres Iniesta.


Gilmour was taking on assumptions about him on the new UMM Youtube channel.


He said: 'When I grew up I was a Chelsea fan, I had a lot of strips of them. I played for Rangers and then finally got a move to Chelsea, which was a bit crazy. 

'It's a difficult one because when I left, (Gerrard) just came in. But I would not change anything, even now I don't regret my decision to come to Chelsea, every minute I've been here I've loved it.

'I'm still a Rangers fan, I watch Rangers play and they're doing well. Hopefully we can keep up and win the league. 


'(Mason Mount) is a good laugh, always up for a joke. You can see from his Instagram he's always up to something. He does call me 'Billy Balboa' after doing boxing when I was injured - Mason was filming me when he should have been working!'

When asked whether Kante still couldn't understand him, he added: 'That's true! My accent has changed a little, but I don't say London words like fam and jheeze. He is a great player, trains so well, always works so hard. After training he just goes home and chills, you don't hear anything about him.'

He continued: 'It's true - when I first came down (to London) I got a phone call asking if I wanted to model so I did. It was something different and it was enjoyable.

(Lampard) has joined in with training a few times. He’s still got the touch, he’s still got it. He joins in the rondos sometimes and he’s still sharp. 

'Of course (that's my dream). It would be a proud moment obviously, captaining your country and hopefully taking them to a major tournament soon.'
