The England winger Chloe Kelly has accused Manchester City of attempting to “assassinate her character”, as she leaves to join Arsenal on loan for the remainder of the season.
Kelly, whose move was announced by the two WSL clubs at 11pm GMT on Thursday as the transfer window closed, used social media late on Thursday to allege that City had been “planting negative stories” about her in the media. City have been contacted by the Guardian for a response.
