Chloe Kelly

England forward Chloe made a welcome return to north London by rejoining the club where she grew up on loan from Manchester City in January 2025 and then, having made a huge impression during the second half of the season, in a permanent deal to become our first signing of the summer in July.

Deadly from set pieces and equally dangerous cutting in from the flanks, Chloe made 13 appearances in all competitions, scoring two goals in the WSL, and was a constant menace to opposition defences, including Barcelona’s in the UEFA Champions League final.

An Arsenal Academy graduate, she made her debut in 2015 before leaving for Everton, initially for two loan spells ahead of a permanent move in 2018, and then joining Manchester City, where she won both domestic cups.

An England international since 2018, she is best known for scoring the extra-time winner against Germany in the final of Euro 2022, but she was also influential at the following year’s World Cup, scoring in the 6-1 win over China and converting the winning penalty in the shootout win over Nigeria in the Round of 16. Having won her 50th cap last season, she was also in the squad for Euro 2025.
