MARSEILLE, France — Chelsea can wait. Caleb Wiley's priority over the next two and half weeks is to get his hands on an Olympic medal at the Paris Games. The United States defender has already secured a move to the Premier League with Chelsea - now he has his eyes fixed on another prize. The U.S. men's national team plays at the Olympics for the first time since 2008 when it takes on host nation and one of the tournament favorites France in Marseille on Wednesday. The 19-year-old Wiley is likely to be the subject of increased interest from Chelsea fans, at least, after he completed his move to the two-time Champions League winner from Atlanta United on Monday in a deal worth a reported $11 million.
