Luboš Kalouda (born May 20, 1987 in Brno) is a Czech footballer, currently playing for CSKA Moscow in the Russian Premier League of Russia. He was a member of the Czech Republic National U-20 Team which won silver medals in 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Kalouda scored three goals (against Korea DPR, Panama and Spain) and was one of the best players in the Czech team. Because of his great performances in autumn 2007 (playing for 1. FC Brno) he was picked in January 2008 for the senior Czech national team for the first time. His style of play is quite similar to that of the legendary Czech midfielder Pavel Nedvěd. In January 2008 Brno were offered €4million by Juventus F.C., who saw Kalouda as a possible long term replacement for Nedvěd; however, the teams failed to reach an agreement. Despite interest from English Premier League teams Newcastle United and Chelsea, Dutch team PSV Eindhoven, and CSKA Moscow, Kalouda signed a five-year contract at CSKA with a transfer fee of 5.18 million Euros.
