England international forward Chloe Kelly signs for Arsenal on a permanent deal following her loan spell from Manchester City, with whom her contract expired this summer.
She scored two goals and provided five assists in 13 appearances after joining the Gunners on loan in January, helping them win the Champions League.
In her time with Manchester City, 109 appearances yielded 30 goals, two FA Cup wins and one League Cup.
Currently with the England squad at UEFA Women’s EURO 2025, she has 53 caps for her country, eight goals, a Euro 2022 winners medal and was a World Cup runner-up in 2023.
Kelly told www.arsenal.com: “Putting pen to paper on a permanent contract at Arsenal is a standout moment for me. Learning from an incredible manager and continuing to build relationships with an excellent team is a journey I’m looking forward to continuing.
“I’m excited for more silverware at this special club and to bring more trophies back to North London to celebrate with our supporters. I’ve always said that Arsenal supporters are the best and to have them on my side, singing my name, means so much to me.”
Head coach, Renée Slegers, said: “I’m delighted that we’ve been able to make Chloe a permanent signing for us. She had a great impact and played an important role in what we achieved here last season, and I know she shares our ambition to compete for more.”
