It has been reported today that Chelsea have secured the signing
today of the 17 year-old Czech Republic starlet, Tomas Kalas, from
Sigma Olomou, but he has been variously reported as a centre-back
or a goalkeeper!.
Sigma’s official website said: “A spell at a top European club
for Tomas Kala was successfully arranged today,”
Kalas’ agent Pavel Zika told sport.cz: “We cannot confirm the
club’s name yet.
“Negotiations were very difficult and I am glad they are behind
us now, especially for the good of the player.”
Sky Sports report that both Chelsea and Arsenal were chasing the
youngster, but Chelsea pipped the Gunners to his signature.
Their original report said that Kalas was a goalkeeper (which
was then repeated by TribalFootball), but the article has since
been amended to say that he is a centre-back!
They also report that the youngster will be loaned back to Signa
for 12 months before coming over to London permanently.
