Chloe Kelly has accused Manchester City trying to “assassinate my character” following her deadline day move to Arsenal. England international Kelly, 27, will spend the remainder of the season in north London after finalising a loan move on Thursday evening.

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.

One of the big stories of transfer deadline day has been whether Manchester City and England forward Chloe Kelly could be on the move. It looks like that could now be the case, with City having accepted a loan offer from Women's Super League rivals Arsenal for the 27-year-old.
