CHLOE KELLY admits she does not see herself being a Manchester City player beyond this June. The England ace opened up on "dreams" being "crushed" and concerns for her "mental wellbeing" in a message shared via Instagram. Kelly, 27, who is one of the WSL's most high profile players, has been the subject of speculation concerning her Man City future.

This followed England's tournament-winning goalscorer at the 2022 Euros, falling down the pecking order at the Cityzens. Last term Kelly made 21 top-flight appearances starting in 18 of those games registering five goals and five assists with the team finishing second on goal difference.

The forward, who began her senior club career at Arsenal in 2015 before a 2016 Everton switch and a City move in 2020, helped the Cityzens to league and FA Cup wins. However this season she has started in just one of the 12 WSL games played by Gareth Taylor's side.

Her most recent start for the team this month was in their FA Cup fourth-round 3-0 defeat of Ipswich on January 12. And Kelly's current contract with the club she joined in July 2020 expires in June. With this year's Euros less than six months away, the forward hopes to be in a position to fight for England squad selection.

Via a post published on her social media accounts on Wednesday night, Kelly wrote: "From day one, I've felt so much love from my team-mates and the fans. "With my contract expiring in June I've accepted that my future is not at this club beyond then. "With the Euros fast approaching, this summer is a huge one and I want to be in a position to give it my best shot to represent my country.
