Tomáš Kalas

Can't argue with him there..

Chelsea scout de Vissier on Kalas:

"Kalas played last season as a central defender and already enormous progress has been made. At right-back, he is doing that again. His attitude, concentration and drive are pluses. Hes a winner who will bend over backwards to do the maximum possible.

"With Fred Rutten, Kalas has a coach whose specific training will help him know him better. Tomas requires a year, maybe two, but he will eventually come back to the Premier League.

"Chelsea will not bring him back in the winter, perhaps in the summer, it will be around that time that the club will take a look."

Great he can be our 2nd choice right back behind azpi.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

Tomas Kalas, our 19-year-old central defender/right back currently on-loan at Vitesse Arnhem, was named Czech's Talent of the Year. It is given to emerging young players and was won by Cech back in 2001.

Nice, he could be a good Azpi back-up in near future..

Definitely tbh i would recall him as soon as next season.

Kalas has been solid defensively at right back vs Twente in the first half. Has stepped in the middle of defense at times to break up play as well.

I'm surprised this thread is barely active. Are people not aware that out on loan we have this 19 year old being one of the absolute best defenders in the whole of Holland, at the same time being one of the most influential players in Vitesse's over-achieving season where they currently sit in 2nd place in the league, only 5 points behind leaders Ajax?

Also I really want to make this clear - Yes, he can play at right back and has done for a few games this season, but he is a centre back.

Much like Ivanovic, he's probably better in the centre, but at the same time can be one of the best right backs in the league if deployed there.

He is incredible. There's nothing stopping him from becoming one of the world's best defenders at all.

All this talk of how Lukaku does on loan, or De Bruyne, even Bamford or Piazon - but out of all of them, Kalas is the only player who's playing like a leader week in, week out; and is by far the most consistent.

Didnt really know he was that good, actually. Thanks for this

He'll get a premier league loan next season and maybe the season after he can be part of the squad. However, I'm fine with next 2 seasons on loan in the prem. He's a defender no need to rush him, experience as a defender is just if not more valuable than ability.

What kind of a player is he? Agressive massive CB? or more of a smart fast one? ...

Smart fast one and versatile as well.

plays more on the RB than on the CB

[Magic Lamps 11,436]

simply recall him. We will be short on both RB and Cb, he would easily end up with 10-20 starts and 20-30 appearences overall. Hope he is in Mourinho's book.
