Chloe Kelly has launched a scathing attack on Manchester City and claimed the club are trying to “assassinate her character” after she sealed a dramatic deadline day loan move to Arsenal.

Manchester City have accepted a loan offer from Arsenal for forward Chloe Kelly just hours before the Women's Super League's January transfer deadline, sources have told ESPN.

Manchester City winger Chloe Kelly has said she “accepts her future is not at this club” beyond the expiration of her contract in June and said her mental wellbeing has been adversely impacted after being “dictated to whom I can and can’t join”.
