Chelsea signed young American defender Caleb Wiley from Atlanta United on Monday for a fee believed to be £8.5 million ($10.9 million).

Wiley has signed a six-year contract with the Premier League club with the option of a further season extension.

“Chelsea are pleased to announce the signing of United States international Caleb Wiley,” the club confirmed on their website.

The 19-year-old left-back has been part of Atlanta’s first team since 2022 and made his senior debut for the United States against Mexico last October.

Wiley is currently in Paris, where he is part of the U.S. Olympic team.

Upon his arrival at Stamford Bridge, Wiley will be assessed by new boss Enzo Maresca as a competitor for Marc Cucurella and Ben Chilwell, who are Chelsea’s senior left-backs.

However, it has been reported that Wiley could spend next season on loan at French club Strasbourg, who are part of the same Blueco ownership group as Chelsea.
