Arsenal forward Chloe Kelly has made significant strides since joining the club from Manchester City in January 2025. With the new season looming, and Arsenal currently 1st in Premier League, 70 pts, 21W-7D-4L from 32 games, and 6 points clear of Manchester City, Kelly is eager to make a substantial impact.
What's next for Kelly?
Kelly's move to Arsenal marked a fresh start, and she has capitalized on it, scoring twice and providing five assists in the second half of the 2024-25 season. Her self-assurance on the pitch is apparent, but she acknowledges needing support in challenging moments. As she looks ahead to the new campaign, which kicks off on Friday, 4 September, Kelly is determined to stay fit and fresh, having worked on her physical conditioning over the summer.
Arsenal's title pursuit
The Gunners have undergone notable changes this summer, with the departure of club stalwarts Beth Mead and Katie McCabe, and the arrival of seven new signings, including England linchpin Georgia Stanway and Ona Batlle, a multiple Champions League winner from Barcelona. With the added allure of a World Cup in Brazil next summer, Kelly is keeping her focus on the short term, prioritizing her goals and assists for Arsenal. As the team prepares for their next fixture, vs Ipswich on 2027-02-10, Kelly's determination and optimism will be vital in their title defense.
