Brighton midfielder Billy Gilmour admits he's been impressed by new teammate Ansu Fati.

Fati is on a season-long loan from Barcelona.

Scotland intertnational Gilmour said, I was asking him back at the club if he was going to go to Spain and he wasn't sure.

But I saw he got a late call-up so I just texted him to say, 'See you soon'. So that will be nice but of course I want to go out there and win.

We've had good conversations. Of course I'm asking him about Barcelona, and when we were younger we played against each other. It was me and Tariq Lamptey who's at Brighton that were playing for Chelsea and he was at Barca. So we were winding him up because Ansu scored a double and we won on penalties!

But he's a really good player, he's very humble, and you can see that he's got great talent. So far he's been doing really well for us and hopefully that can continue."
