Caleb Wiley joins Watford on loan from Chelsea

Caleb Wiley has been recalled from his loan at Strasbourg and signed on loan at Watford for the remainder of the season, as confirmed by Chelsea. The 20-year-old left-back, who joined Chelsea from Atlanta United, faced injuries that limited his appearances in France to just six. Watford's head coach Tom Cleverley expressed enthusiasm for Wiley's arrival, highlighting his athleticism and technical skills, although he noted that Wiley would need a couple of weeks to return to training. This move comes as Watford seeks to bolster its defensive options while currently being positioned just outside the Championship playoff spots. Wiley, a U.S. international, has previously showcased his talent in Major League Soccer and aims to regain his form in England's second tier. The club is optimistic about his potential contributions once he fully recovers from his injury.
