Wiley is one of a number of young talents to join Chelsea thus far this summer. Enzo Maresca has already overseen the acquisitions of Aston Villa's Omari Kellyman and Barcelona starlet Marc Guiu.

It concludes a fine summer of business for the MLS side, who have now sold Thiago Almada, Giorgos Giakoumakis and Wiley for a combined total of over $40m. They currently sit in 10th place – outside of the playoff picture – but level on points with ninth-placed FC Toronto, and a game in hand over the Canadian side.
