Only 2 players scored over 20 goals in the Premier league last season - Son & Salah. Which one of those do you propose we sign?

I keep seeing this thread having additional replies and each time I hope it is news that we've done a permanent deal.
I would be more excited by us signing Gilmour than a £10m striker with potential. We know what a wonderful talent Gilmour is and how upset the Chelsea fans will be if they sell him.
It was only June last year that Gilmour was man of the match in the England v Scotland Euro '20 game (played in 2021).
He dominated an England midfield containing Rice, Phillips, Mount and Foden.
Getting Billy Gilmour would be the most 'Brighton' type signing possible.

It makes a lot of sense. Talented and much hyped youngster whose value has dropped after a disappointing loan spell. The gamble is that Potter can coach him back to the required level and that our passing game will suit him - I think it will, one of his skills is wriggling free from the press in midfield and pinging out a pass.
It also makes a lot of sense when you consider that Caicedo may leave for big bucks next summer, and we might also cash in on Mac Allister in the last year of his contract. The sitting midfield spots would then be effectively between Gilmour, Moder, Kozlowski and Alzate.
My personal preference would be to give Steven Alzate a chance to shine... would he be as pinball random as Mwepu ? He’s always impressed me, especially in central midfield... and he can play wide too as he proved during his brilliant senior debut up at Newcastle.
I’m unsure why he’s not featuring more to be honest, at least off the bench.
It’s one of those strange GP things I can’t quite work out.
This potential signing would be underwhelming, and if I’m honest a bit needless... and as others have said he was truly woeful last season... more SPL than PL and that equates to not good enough.
But then again I coach an under 8s team so what do I know ?

I completely agree. I've seen Gilmour a couple of times and I've never seen him play as well as we know that Alzate can. Potter says he rates him but hardly ever plays him, and meanwhile various new midfield players are reportedly targeted.
Looks like this one is over:
“Chelsea reluctant to sanction Gilmour's Brighton move.
Chelsea are reluctant to sanction Billy Gilmour’s proposed permanent move to Brighton due to the club’s injury problems in central midfield, according to The Athletic.” SSN
I think this one will be dictated by Chelsea's pursuit of Edson Álvarez. If they get him out of Ajax, Tuchel may be open to Gilmour leaving.
