Chelsea Signs US Fullback Caleb Wiley

Chelsea has secured a deal to sign 19-year-old American star Caleb Wiley from Atlanta United for around $11 million (£8.5m) on a seven-year contract, with plans to loan him to Ligue 1 side RC Strasbourg for playing time. Wiley, a US men's national team player, is expected to feature in the upcoming Olympics. This move aligns with Chelsea's strategy of recruiting young talents, with additional signings like Renato Veiga and Aaron Anselmino in progress. The club's past struggles and successes under new manager Enzo Maresca are noted, including finishing sixth in the Premier League and qualifying for the Europa Conference League. Wiley's potential and the strategic loan arrangement to Strasbourg raise questions about Chelsea's left-back position and foreign loan slots.
