LONDON (AP) — Chelsea have signed American left-back Caleb Wiley from Atlanta United on a six-year contract.

Wiley, 19, joins the team for an estimated $11 million.

He has been part of Atlanta’s first team since 2022 and made his senior debut for the U.S. national team against Mexico last October.

Wiley is currently in Paris playing for the United States in the Olympic football tournament and is set to spend next season on loan at Strasbourg, who are part of the same ownership group as Chelsea.
