Chelsea On 7 July 2010, he signed for English Premier League champions Chelsea for £5.2 million and immediately rejoined Sigma Olomouc on loan for the first year of his contract.Chelsea decided to recall him from his loan for the second half of the 2010–11 season and the defender made his Chelsea reserve team debut in a 2–2 away draw to Aston Villa on 21 February. Chelsea academy manager Neil Bath described Kalas as a quick and athletic player. "He is a very good one-on-one defender and comfortable on the ball," said Bath. "We feel there is a lot of potential in the player, and we feel at the minute it is the right time to get him, but it would be good for him to stay there and get first team experience, and we look forward to him joining us next year.Obviously we will stay in touch and he will come across here when appropriate. He is a right-sided centrehalf who can play right-back." Interview: "Bayer Leverkusen and Hoffenheim from the Bundesliga and apart from Chelsea also Arsenal," Kalas added. "I have been to both German clubs and also Arsenal, but the best impression was left on me by Chelsea. "People say that Arsenal are famous for their academy, but from what I could see during my days at Chelsea, that really impressed me. "Even my dad thought of Chelsea as the best option. Moreover, I have been a Chelsea fan since I was a little kid. "I am convinced I have made the right decision by joining Chelsea. After all, by this I am making my dream come true."
