Chloe Kelly reflects on her move to Arsenal in January 2025 after a difficult spell at Manchester City. She describes initial fear of the unknown but has since won a second Women's Champions League title and played a key role in England's Euro 2025 victory, scoring the winning penalty against Spain.

The 2024-25 season was hampered by injury, limiting her to four WSL starts. Kelly says she needed the summer to work on fitness and is now in a good place, focusing on staying fit for the new campaign starting 4 September. She keeps World Cup ambitions for Brazil 2026 on the back burner.

Arsenal have seen significant turnover with Beth Mead and Katie Mc Cabe departing for rivals, while seven new signings include Georgia Stanway from Bayern Munich and Ona Batlle from Barcelona. Batlle, a multiple Champions League winner, believes the WSL is the most competitive league and targets more silverware.

Kelly aims to help new arrivals settle but prefers quiet time at home with family and dogs. She emphasizes being a good person and welcoming teammates while maintaining personal boundaries.
