“I’m very happy,’ excited star reveals after very late Chelsea transfer deal announced
Billy Gee has completed a permanent transfer to Norwich City, and the young defender has admitted that he is looking forward to the new chapter in his life after making the move away from the Blues.
CHELSEA posted on the club website: ‘Billy joined Chelsea as an Under-8 and progressed through our Academy at Cobham. Last season, he featured regularly for our Under-21s and took the captain’s armband after Alfie Gilchrist moved up to the senior squad.
‘Billy was also named on the men’s first team bench for the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool in February 2024.
‘We wish Billy the very best as he begins a new chapter in his career. ’
Norwich posted: ‘Gee has represented England’s youth sides at Under-16, Under-17 and Under-19 level and has been with Chelsea since the age of eight.
‘He wore the captain’s armband for the five-time Premier League Champions’ Under-21s side throughout last season, and claimed a place on the bench for the first team’s Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool in February earlier this year.
Upon signing for the Canaries, Gee spoke to the club’s official channels: “I’m very happy, it’s the start of a new chapter. I’m ready for the new challenge.
“I was captain last season for the (Chelsea) Under-21s so I think I can bring leadership skills and I think I can bring a lot of on-the-ball ability.
“I hope I can break through and try to push for the first team.”
