Chelsea have a deal in place for Sigma Olomouc centre-back Tomas Kalas.

Kalas is moving to Chelsea for £5 million, despite rival interest from Arsenal.

The Daily Express says Chelsea have beaten off competition from Arsenal, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich to land the 17-year-old starlet.

Premier League rivals Arsenal in particular were keen to sign Kalas, with Arsene Wenger apparently meeting with the player personally to try and sweeten a deal.

However, it seems Chelsea have pipped their London rivals to the player with his current club's website carrying a statement reading:

"A spell at a top European club for Tomas Kalas was successfully arranged today."
