Kalas has set his heart on a return to Middlesbrough next season if he is
surplus to requirements at Chelsea once again.
The 21-year-old Czech Republic international played the final game of his
loan spell at Norwich on Friday evening, but admitted he would welcome
another spell on Teesside if Jose Mourinho chose to send him out on loan.
Kalas told the Northern Echo: "I've really enjoyed my time here and I really
want to come back. If I have that option [next season], I will take it.
"I'm glad I've been able to come to Middlesbrough, and I want to say thank
you to the coach, the staff and everyone involved in the club for making me
feel at home. Hopefully, we will meet again next season.
"I'm still a Chelsea player, but at Chelsea it's always difficult to get
into the team. If you don't see a big chance to play, then it's better for a
young player to get a game somewhere else.
"I spent the first half of the season in Cologne and that was difficult, but
I think I made a good decision to come to Middlesbrough and I think I am on
the right way back now. Hopefully, that can continue. If I am to go on loan
again next season, hopefully it will be here."
