Chelsea deal for Kalas

admin

Kalas will spend this season on loan at Middlesbrough having spent three months there in the spring, but he returns to Teesside with his long-term future secure.

The centre-half has also had loan spells in the Netherlands and Germany during five years at Chelsea which have brought just four senior appearances.

One of those came at Anfield in 2014 when he impressed in a 2-0 win which ultimately cost Liverpool the Premier League title.

Jose Mourinho said after that game: “For a kid like Kalas to make his debut and play the way he did…I have to speak about the kid because it’s a special day for him.”
