10 Players Newcastle Have Been Linked To At The Euro U-21 Championships

2. Tomas Kalas (Czech Republic)

Age: 22 Position: Centre-Back/Right-Back Club: Chelsea Nationality: Czech Estimated market value: £2 million (Likely to be available on loan) League Appearances (Goals) 2014-15: 17 (0) International Under-21 Caps (Goals): 17 (0) Another young Chelsea defender, Tomas Kalas spent the latter half of last season on loan at Middlesbrough. Helping one of the meanest defences in the Championship to the play-off final, Kalas made 17 league appearances for the Boro and excelled at both right-back and centre-back. Signed by the Blues for £5.2 million from Sigma Olomouc in 2010, Kalas has played just twice for Chelsea in the meantime as he has instead been loaned out to Vitesse Arnhem, FC Koln and the Boro. Could a loan deal to Tyneside be his next move? He has been linked with the club in the past, so it's certainly not beyond the realms of possibility...
