Wiley has made two appearances for the USA senior side and is currently with the United States Olympic squad preparing for the Games in Paris.
The left-back is Chelsea s sixth signing this transfer window, after Tosin Adarabioyo, Omari Kellyman, Marc Guiu, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Renato Veiga.
However, he is expected to go out on loan next season, joining Strasbourg in Ligue 1 following his return from the Olympics.
