Bristol City defender Tomas Kalas is emerging as a summer target for Championship rivals Stoke City as the Czech Republic centre-back enters the final year of his contract at Ashton Gate.
The Mail on Sunday report that Stoke are "monitoring" Kalas' situation at City as Michael O'Neill wants a dominating centre-back following the departure of Nathan Collins to Burnley.
Former City head coach Dean Holden is O’Neill’s No2 at the bet365 Stadium and it wouldn’t be the first time the Potters were interested in one of the Robins’ premier players, as they came close to signing Andi Weimann last summer before he signed a three-year contract in BS3.
