Bristol City today confirmed their ninth signing of the summer in the form of a season-long loan deal for Chelsea centre-back Tomas Kalas. 

He also becomes the club's second centre-back signing after the arrival of Adam Webster earlier in the transfer window from Ipswich Town.

Kalas has enjoyed spells in the Championship before most notably in 2015/16 and 2017/18 where he won promotion with first Middlesbrough and then Fulham last season.

He has impressed wherever he has played on loan after arriving at Chelsea in 2010, and as such is a real statement of intent by the Robins.

Kalas is a top-end Championship centre-back and his arrival shows that City are eager to be pushing the upper echelons of the table.

The Ashton Gate faithful are also delighted with their newest signing with many taken by surprise at the arrival.

Here is how they responded to the surprise announcement that Tomas Kalas will be a Robins player for the next year...
