Sporting Kansas City: Former English champions Chelsea have announced the signing of United States international Caleb Wiley, the left-back joining the Blues from MLS side Atlanta United. They have signed a six-year contract, with a club option for a further year, at Stamford Bridge.

The young wingback has been signed for a transfer fee reported to be around 8.5 million Euros and is expected to be loaned out to Ligue 1 side, Strasbourg for the 19-year-old’s development before hopefully integrating him into the side in the coming years given his loan period proves to be successful.

Wiley joined Atlanta’s academy at 11 years of age and progressed through the club’s youth set-up and spent the 2020 and 2021 campaigns representing Atlanta United 2 in the USL Championship.
