Chelsea OFFICIAL statement released confirming defender has completed summer move
In an effort to get Caleb Wiley some much-needed playing experience over the next season, Chelsea has today confirmed that their summer acquisition has signed with French team Strasbourg for the whole season.
Last month, Chelsea shocked everyone by revealing that Wiley was the team’s sixth summer acquisition. The left-back joined his new team following the Olympic games in Paris.
However – after being at the club for the past few weeks – the decision from the Chelsea board has now been made and the summer signing will spend the season at French side Strasbourg.
Chelsea posted on the club website: ‘ Chelsea defender Caleb Wiley has completed a season-long loan move to Ligue 1 side Strasbourg.
‘The 19-year-old joined the Blues last month from Atlanta United before representing the USA at the Olympic Games in Paris.
‘Caleb will now join up with Strasbourg for the forthcoming campaign. We look forward to supporting his development throughout the season.
‘Good luck, Caleb.’
