Caleb Wiley set to join Watford on loan

Chelsea defender Caleb Wiley is set to join Championship side Watford on loan until the end of the season after a disappointing stint at Strasbourg, where he made only six appearances due to a shoulder injury. The move comes as Chelsea aims to free up a loan spot for another player at Strasbourg, which currently has reached the maximum number of loans from one club. Wiley's limited playing time forced Chelsea to consider terminating his loan early, allowing them to send another promising talent to Strasbourg. Watford, one of several clubs interested in Wiley, is in advanced negotiations to finalize the deal. This transfer highlights Chelsea's strategy to manage their loaned players effectively amidst injury challenges and competitive demands in English football. The transfer is expected to provide Wiley with more playing opportunities in the Championship.
