Apparently this deal was not quite officially official before, but it is now. Young left back Caleb Wiley has joined RC Strasbourg on loan for the season, just as it was expected when he signed with Chelsea the other week — and just as it was expected when Strasbourg themselves were pursuing the 19-year-old US Olympian.
For whatever reason, Strasbourg ended up not signing him directly; instead he’s on Chelsea’s books and now he takes up a precious international loan spot as well (precious because we have dozens of players who need loan assignments, and FIFA limits international loan to just six — gone are the days of Michael Emenalo’s Free-wheeling, free-dealing Loan Army!).
Wiley is our second loanee at RCSA after Andrey Santos. Goalkeeper Đorđe Petrović was recently linked as well — they can have no more than three from us.
(Aarón Anselmino at Boca Juniors is another international loanee while goalkeeper Mike Penders is expected to be another if or when he signs from KRC Genk.
