We’re delighted to announce that England international forward Chloe Kelly has joined us on loan.

Chloe joins from Manchester City and will stay with us until the end of the 2024/25 season.

Chloe joined our youth academy at the age of 12 in 2010 and went on to make 19 appearances for our first team between 2015 and 2018, scoring nine goals.

Now 27, Chloe had two loan spells at Everton during her time as an Arsenal player, before joining the Toffees on a permanent deal in 2018. She scored 18 goals in 51 appearances in total for Everton before sealing a move to Manchester City in 2020.

Chloe has scored 30 times in 109 appearances for Manchester City, winning the FA Cup in 2019/20 and the League Cup in 2021/22.

At international level with England, Chloe has won 48 caps and scored seven goals, including the winner in the final of the UEFA Women’s Championship in 2022. Chloe was also part of the Lionesses squad that reached the final of the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023.

Head Coach Renée Slegers said: “Chloe is an exciting attacking player and will be a great addition to our squad as we approach the second half of the season. She’s direct and explosive, with huge natural talent and ability. We’re all looking forward to working with Chloe as an Arsenal player in the coming months.”

Director of Women’s Football Clare Wheatley said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Chloe back to Arsenal. As an academy graduate, we’ve been proud to see the career she’s gone on to enjoy, both at club and international level. We’re delighted she’ll be representing Arsenal again as we aim to compete for honours this season.”

Chloe will wear the number 18 jersey here at Arsenal.
