Chelsea: Chelsea have signed United States left back Caleb Wiley from Major League Soccer side Atlanta United on a six-year contract, the Premier League club said on Monday.

A product of Atlanta's academy, Wiley made his MLS debut in 2022 and has made 85 appearances, scoring six goals.

He made his US debut last year in a 1-1 draw against Mexico.
