Tomas Kalas still holding out hope for his Chelsea chance

Tomas Kalas has not given hope of securing himself a regular place in the Chelsea first-team squad.

Speaking after Fulham’s play-off win against Aston Villa, as reported by Goal, Kalas said there is still a chance he can make it at Stamford Bridge.

Naturally, after Fulham’s promotion, there is already talk that Fulham could sign Kalas on a permanent deal this summer, but Kalas is still keeping one eye on Chelsea.

Andreas Christensen made it and he played many games. Obviously, there were a few mistakes but he took the chance well and he deserves to be there. If he can do it, then I believe I can do it as well.

The defender, who has seemingly found a home with the Cottagers, joined Chelsea back in 2010 and has made just four appearances in all competitions.

Kalas has suffered as a result of Chelsea’s nomadic loan system that has seen him shipped off to Vitesse, Koln, Middlesbrough and now Fulham.

Since joining the Whites on loan, Kalas has become a key player for Slavisa Jokanovic’s men, helping them secure a place in the Premier League next season.
