'I've accepted my future is not at this club' - Kelly

Chloe Kelly said she has accepted that her future no longer lies with Manchester City and has released a statement asking to leave the club.

The forward said on Instagram that her situation is "disappointing and not right" as she pushes for a move before Thursday's 23:00 GMT transfer deadline.

It's understood Manchester City are open to allowing Chloe to leave and that the England forward is considering an offer from another club.

Here is the statement in full.

"For a long time I've tried to work through professional challenges privately, not commenting publicly, but with my situation increasingly being debated in the public domain I feel it's time to be open and transparent and you heard it from my perspective.

"A key lesson I have learned in my life is that whilst I can't control someone's negative behaviour towards me, I can control how long I am prepared to tolerate it.

"From day one, I've felt so much love from my teammates and the fans. With my contract expiring in June I've accepted 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. Something which has always filled me with such pride and it is a true honour to do so. However, to be dictated whom I can and can't join with only four months left of the football season is having a huge impact on not only my career by my mental wellbeing. The situation has been dragged on for too long, it's disappointing and not right.

"I'm at a pivotal point in my life and my career is so important to me and is very disappointing that the sport we love can make you feel this way especially after there's been so much growth in our sport. This is why I'm posting this because I want to make you all aware that we as players dedicate our lives to our sport and our clubs but our dreams can be crushed whilst we live in silence.

"I am human and I have and will give everything to the game that I love. Ultimately I just want to be happy again."
