The Czech Republic international and 20-year-old
Dutchman will be entrusted to Middlesbrough and
Aitor Karanka next season
Chelsea have agreed to send defenders Tomas
Kalas and Nathan Ake on loan to Middlesbrough
next season, Goal understands.
Czech Republic international Kalas impressed in 17
Championship appearances during a temporary
spell at the Riverside Stadium last season, even as
Aitor Karanka's men fell short against Norwich City
in the play-off final at Wembley.
Ake, meanwhile, acquitted himself well for Reading
in a brief stint last term, making five appearances
in April to help the Royals maintain their
Championship status.
Both are well down the first-team pecking order at
Stamford Bridge but Chelsea's decision to loan
them to Middlesbrough is further evidence of the
close relationship between Jose Mourinho and
Karanka, his assistant at Real Madrid.
Last season Boro enjoyed the services of Kalas as
well as fellow Blues youngsters Patrick Bamford
and Kenneth Omeruo.
