Chelsea loanee Kalas eyeing promotion with Fulham

Chelsea loanee Tomas Kalas is eyeing promotion to the Premier League with his current club Fulham.

The Czech Republic international had cemented his place in the Fulham's starting XI before a hamstring injury ruled him out last month.

Kalas, 23, is now closing on a return and aims to help the Cottagers reclaim their position in England's top flight.

When asked about his reason to join the Cottagers, he told Chelsea's official website: "To play games, that's what I need. That's the first point.

"The second point is to win something. I got promoted with Middlesbrough and I think Fulham have the squad to get promoted as well. The season has been a bit up and down so far, but we are close to the play-offs and there are so many games things can turn very quickly."

Kalas also touched on his goals for the season in the interview: "With Fulham, try to chase the play-offs at least.

"That would be perfect. With my international team, try to get as many caps as I can.

"Looking at my own game, I want to keep learning, developing and improving."

The London club currently occupy the 11th spot in the Championship table.
