Kelly, 27, expressed her excitement about the new chapter, stating, "I'm excited for more silverware at this special club and to bring more trophies back to North London to celebrate with our supporters."

Kelly's journey back to Arsenal was a highly anticipated move, especially after her impactful loan spell last season. She played a crucial role in Arsenal's victory over Barcelona in the Champions League final in May. Her performance during the loan period left a lasting impression on Arsenal's manager, Renee Slegers, who praised Kelly's contribution. "She played an important role in what we achieved here last season and I know she shares our ambition to compete for more," Slegers said.

Kelly's career has been marked by significant achievements, including 53 caps for England and eight goals for her country. Her return to Arsenal is seen as a strategic move to bolster the team's attacking options. "I've always said that Arsenal supporters are the best and to have them on my side, singing my name, means so much to me," Kelly added.

Her departure from Manchester City was not without its challenges. Kelly had a publicized desire to leave the club, citing a need for happiness and a fresh start. She eventually rejoined Arsenal, where she feels at home and is eager to contribute to the team's success. In a farewell statement to Manchester City, Kelly acknowledged the positive aspects of her time there, stating, "Memories created and lessons learned. All stories should have happy endings, now it's time to look to the future."

Kelly's return to Arsenal is a testament to her resilience and determination. With her proven track record and commitment to excellence, she is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming seasons. Fans and teammates alike are eager to see what the future holds for this talented forward as she aims to bring more glory to Arsenal.
