Chloe Kelly Returns to Arsenal After Loan Success

Chloe Kelly has completed a permanent transfer to Arsenal after a loan spell in which she helped the club win its first Women's Champions League title in 18 years. The 27-year-old England forward returns to Arsenal, where she started as a youth, following stints at Everton and Manchester City, where she won both the FA Cup and League Cup. Kelly's move was influenced by her desire for more playing time and to secure a place in England's Euro 2025 squad after falling out of favor at Manchester City. Arsenal manager Renée Slegers praised Kelly for her crucial assists and quick integration into the team. Kelly expressed her excitement about pursuing more trophies and reconnecting with Arsenal fans. Her signing marks Arsenal's first major addition of the summer and comes amid a dynamic women's transfer market.
