Chelsea sign Czech youngster as one for the future

According to reports, Chelsea have completed the signing of highly-rated teenage centre-back Tomas Kalas from Sigma Olomouc. The seventeen-year-old Czech defender has been linked with a host of top European clubs including Inter Milan and Bayern Munich.

His club have confirmed Kalas has successfully negotiated a deal with another team but the identity of that team is yet to be revealed. A statement on the club's official website read: "A spell at a top European club for Tomas Kala was successfully arranged today."

Kalas' agent also refused to name the team his client has signed for, saying: "We cannot confirm the club's name yet," Pavel Zika told sport.cz.

"Negotiations were very difficult and I am glad they are behind us now, especially for the good of the player."

Kalas has played just one senior game before and will stay with Sigma for a further 12 months before joining up with his new team mates.
