Chelsea have completed the signing of defender Caleb Wiley from Atlanta United.

The 19-year-old has joined on a six-year deal for a fee of about £8.5m, with a club option of a further year.

Wiley came through the Major League Soccer side's academy before making his senior debut in 2022 and has gone on to feature 85 times, scoring six goals and providing seven assists.

He is with the United States in France as they prepare for the Paris Olympics.

It is expected that the teenager will go on loan to Strasbourg, the French top-flight side with the same BlueCo ownership group as Chelsea.
