Chloe Kelly completed a loan move to Arsenal on transfer deadline day to bring an end to the England international’s unhappy season with Manchester City. Kelly, 27, had made just one start for City in this season’s Women’s Super League and asked to leave with a statement posted on social media this week.

Chloe Kelly has launched a scathing attack on Manchester City and claimed the club are trying to “assassinate her character” after she sealed a dramatic deadline day loan move to Arsenal.

Manchester City winger Chloe Kelly has said she “accepts her future is not at this club” beyond the expiration of her contract in June and said her mental wellbeing has been adversely impacted after being “dictated to whom I can and can’t join”.
