Bristol Live have added fuel to the fire of Rangers’ interest in Tomas Kalas, so should the Gers swoop for the 25 year-old this summer?

What's the story?

Both Rangers and Celtic want to sign Kalas this summer. That was according to The Daily Record earlier this month, who claimed the two Glasgow giants were leading the race for his signature.

Now, Bristol Live have published a collection of comments on Kalas’ future from both the player and his manager, and once again reinforced that Rangers are linked with him.

The Chelsea defender, who has spent time on loan with Vitesse, FC Koln, Middlesbrough, Fulham and now Bristol City, is out of contract this summer, meaning Steven Gerrard and the Gers can swoop in and secure a bargain solution to one of their biggest problems.

Former Wigan & Fulham man, Jimmy Bullard recently showed that he's still got it! Check out the video below...

Bad memories

Gerrard may not be Kalas’ biggest fan if truth be told. The 18-cap Czech Republic international made his Premier League debut for Chelsea in a game that the gaffer will never forget, as Liverpool fell to a 2-0 defeat that effectively ended their title hopes back in 2014.

The versatile defender was superb in that game, drawing loads of plaudits for his surprising debut after he was drafted in to replace the injured John Terry.

Per Whoscored, Kalas completed 80 per cent of his passes that day, which was the highest of any Chelsea starter, and also made a whopping nine clearances.

Without his calmness on the ball, helping Chelsea establish more and more control as the game went on, then Gerrard may just have the one medal he is missing from his playing career.

Perfect for Goldson

While the gaffer won’t have fond memories of it, it is this ball-playing ability that makes Kalas the perfect signing to partner Connor Goldson.

The need to find a new partner for the ex-Brighton ace has become increasingly apparent throughout the season, and Goldson’s physical dominance and leadership will combine perfectly with Kalas’ reading of the game and composure on the ball.

If Kalas is really looking for regular playing time at a club he can call his home, as his comments suggest, then Gerrard should do everything in his power to convince him to join up with Goldson.
