Kurt Zouma hails Gilmour's 'unbelievable performance' against Liverpool

Leeds [UK], Mar 4 : After a victory over Liverpool, Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma hailed Billy Gilmour saying that the 18-year-old delivered an 'unbelievable performance'.

"Unbelievable performance, very mature in his game, and calm and clever as well, with the ball and without the ball," Goal.com quoted Zouma as saying.

"He was fantastic, like he is training. He is training very good. He is very confident and he can keep the ball, he is running around and pressing the guys," he added.
