Rangers have reportedly made an offer to bring Tomas Kalas to Ibrox.

Rangers are in the market for a couple of defensive reinforcements this summer, and Chelsea’s Tomas Kalas is believed to be one of them.

The Gers saw Nikola Katic thrive alongside Connor Goldson towards the end of the season, but they’re losing two of their centre backs in Joe Worrall and Gareth McAuley.

Loanee Worrall will return to Nottingham Forest, whilst McAuley’s contract won’t be renewed when it expires this summer, meaning two replacements at centre back are needed.

A number of names have been linked, and the Bristol Post reported last week that Rangers have now made an offer for Chelesa defender Kalas.

It’s unclear whether that would be a loan or a permanent move, but with Hull City and Bristol City also making moves, Rangers face a battle to sign him.

The 26-year-old enjoyed a superb season in the Championship, and would be a major addition to Steven Gerrard’s back line, especially give his international experience with the Czech Republic.

After featuring for his country in recent days, Kalas took to Instagram today to post a cryptic message about his future, commenting ‘who knows’ about his future destination.

Chelsea’s transfer ban means some players may not be allowed to leave, but Kalas has no future at Stamford Bridge and should be available, and Rangers must make him a top target in order to really give themselves a defence worthy of taking on Celtic.
