The1905.Club Summary

Wiley, who joined Chelsea from Atlanta United for £8.5 million last summer, has struggled for game time in Ligue 1, prompting the club to seek a better solution for his development. The move could also have wider implications, as his departure from Strasbourg frees up a loan spot at the French club—potentially allowing one of Enzo Maresca’s unwanted trio, Carney Chukwuemeka, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, or Ben Chilwell, to secure a temporary move.

Key Points

  • Caleb Wiley is set to be recalled from his loan at Strasbourg due to a lack of minutes.
  • Chelsea are now looking for a new loan destination for the 20-year-old, with Watford a likely option.
  • Strasbourg had maxed out their quota of Chelsea loanees, meaning Wiley’s departure opens up space for another Blues player.
  • Carney Chukwuemeka, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, and Ben Chilwell could now be loaned out to Strasbourg before the transfer window closes.
  • Chukwuemeka has received interest from several clubs, but Chelsea prefer a permanent sale unless Strasbourg is the destination.
  • Dewsbury-Hall has played mostly in cup competitions since joining from Leicester and is attracting Premier League interest.
  • Chilwell, who has only featured once this season, could be moved to free up his significant wages.
