Tomas Kalas has rejoined Fulham on a season-long loan from Chelsea and the Craven Cottage faithful have taken to twitter to voice their opinions.

Chelsea defender and Czech Republic international Tomas Kalas will be a Fulham player again after agreeing to stay on-loan for the second successive season.

The Cottagers seemed delighted to make the signing, announcing the deal on their Twitter account:

And Fulham fans followed suit at the news, excited to see an impressive loanee returning to Craven Cottage for another promotion attempt:

The defender, who featured at both centre-back and right-back last season, was a key part of the side who surged into the Championship play-off places at the latter end of the campaign, only to be narrowly defeated 2-1 on aggregate in the semi-finals by Reading.

Linking up again with manager Slavisa Jokanovic, the aim will be to reach a step further and secure promotion into the illustrious Premier League next time around.

As is customary with Chelsea of late, the 24-year-old also agreed a new contract just before his departure – announcing a deal which extends to 2021.

Kalas will be hoping this additional first-team exposure will give him the experience to return to Chelsea a better player and compete for a regular place in Antonio Conte’s side.
