ARSENAL hero Chloe Kelly enjoyed a Bank Holiday to remember after winning the Champions League – but isn’t sure where she’ll be playing next season.
The 27-year-old hit the town following Arsenal’s parade to celebrate their shock triumph over Barcelona.
Stina Blackstenius scored the only goal of the game in Lisbon to deny the Catalan giants a third-straight title.
The result sealed Arsenal’s first Champions League title since way back in 2007.
And Lionesses star Kelly – who almost stepped away from football in January – wasted no time in heading to her local after jetting back to London.
The on-loan Man City star arrived at The Tollington in Holloway on Monday, just minutes away from the Emirates.
Kelly, decked out in her Arsenal shirt, danced with fans and posed for selfies in footage shared by the pub.
One fan responded: “What a legend!!! Chloe is having a grand day…we have to give her a contract!”
While another said: “I kinda think, she wants to stay :-), how cool is that going into the Tolly.”
Kelly – England’s Euro hero in 2022 – began her career as a youth player at Arsenal.
She has since joined Everton and City before heading back to North London on loan in January.
Kelly told The Guardian: “As soon as I stepped foot in this club, I found happiness.
“Renee Slegers, as soon as she got on the phone to me, to give me the opportunity to represent this badge, I wanted to repay her.
“From being in such a dark place to now, it’s crazy.
“I was ready to take a break from football completely. I’m just grateful.”
Kelly is still not sure if her move back to Arsenal will become permanent.
She added: “If it’s my last game for the club, I’ll forever be grateful.
“I know I’ve given my all to Arsenal and Arsenal has given their all to me.
“They gave me an opportunity to step foot on the pitch and find happiness.
“It’s not about football at times. No matter what happened today, the club gave me happiness.”
