Chelsea closing in on signing Caleb Wiley, will send him to RC Strasbourg…

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing 19-year-old American defensive prospect Caleb Wiley from MLS club Atlanta United this summer.

According to reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are closing in on a deal to sign 19-year-old American left-back Caleb Wiley, and they will send him to their sister club RC Strasbourg so that he can continue his development with regular game time.

The USMNT defender currently plays in MLS for Atlanta United, and a move to Strasbourg will be quite exciting for him. It will be a huge step up in his career and he will look to prove himself in European football. If he manages to impress at the French club in the coming seasons, Chelsea could snap him up and bring him to the Premier League.The 19-year-old has a contract with the MLS club until the end of 2025, and he is likely to be available for a reasonable price. It remains to be seen whether the Chelsea owners can get the deal done. Meanwhile, it will not be a surprise if Chelsea decide to sign a left-back this summer as well…
