Chelsea’s newest signing, 19-year-old American left-back Caleb Wiley, will embark on a loan spell at French club Strasbourg for the upcoming 2024-25 season. Wiley, who made the move to Chelsea from Atlanta United last month, will be gaining valuable experience under the management of former Chelsea player Liam Rosenior, now leading Strasbourg.
Wiley’s journey to Strasbourg comes after his participation in the Paris 2024 Olympics, representing the United States. Chelsea expressed their commitment to Wiley’s development, stating in a statement, “We look forward to supporting his development throughout the season.”
Wiley, a native of Atlanta, signed a six-year contract with Chelsea upon his arrival, joining for a reported fee of $11 million. The loan move to Strasbourg provides an opportunity for him to adapt to a new environment and gain crucial playing time, contributing to his overall development as a footballer.
