Chloe Kelly's huge net worth, F-bomb after Prince William moment, plan to quit football

Chloe Kelly has become England's hero once again with her match-winning strike from 12 yards which secured a second consecutive Euros trophy for the Lionesses. The Arsenal forward stepped up and slotted home England's fifth and final penalty of the shootout against Spain to bring football home.

The 24-year-old has recreated history, after her extra-time tap-in at the Euro 2022 final won the Lionessestheir first major honour with a 2-1 win over Germany. This time, Spain were the victims and Sarina Wiegman's side were looking to right some wrongs from a 1-0 loss in the 2023 World Cup final.

Fellow Gunner Mariona Caldentey struck first for Spain in the 33rd minute, but Alessia Russo – another Arsenalstar – stepped up with a bullet header in the second half to draw things level. Anxiety awaited England fans for the next hour as the game went all the way to a penalty shootout.

Alex Greenwood and Niamh Charles slotted home, with a retakefrom Beth Mead and Leah Williamson's strike being saved by Cata Coll. However, England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton stepped up and saved three penalties – including one from Ballon d'Or holder Aitana Bonmati – to give the centre stage to the final Lioness.

And who else but one of the clutchest players in England's history, Chloe Kelly? The young forward, with a lift of the leg and a deep breath, smashed home her shot and celebrated with a coolness that could only be described as having the ultimate aura.

Kelly will likely spend the next week enjoying her incredible Euros journey, coupled with a move to Arsenal this summer after helping them win the Champions League last season on loan from Manchester City.

Here, Mirror Football have rounded up some of her biggest headlines from her unbelievable year in sport, including her message after speaking to Prince William last night, her huge salary and her prior plans to give up football for good.

What is Chloe Kelly's salary and net worth?

Kelly previously had a reported annual salary of £300,000 at Manchester City back in 2023.

However, it is currently unknown how much she is said to be earning with her new deal at Arsenal, after signing a three-year deal with the Gunners following the expiration of her contract at City.

Overall, her net worth is at least an estimated £2.3million, according to Cosmopolitan, supplemented by various endorsement deals away from the pitch. A huge £1.5m deal with Land Rover added to her millions, as well as her work as a model with Calvin Klein.

F-bomb message after Prince William meeting

The 24-year-old was caught getting a little excited by the TV cameras on Sunday night right after she collected her winner's medal from the Prince of Wales.

After Prince William, who is the patron of England's Football Association, had a quick heart-to-heart with Kelly as he congratulated the match-winner, she was then seen mouthing what seemed to be "f****** come on" to the TV cameras.

This passionate moment led to plenty of reaction on social media, as one viewer said: "Chloe Kelly showing some class spending time chatting to the young girl on stage before turning to the camera and mouthing 'f****** come on…'"

During her post-match interview, emotions continued to get the better of the young star as another expletive made its way into her victory speech.

Speaking to ITV, Kelly said: "This team is made of magic and steel. When we were down against Sweden and down against Italy, we f****** showed grit and determination and we came back.

"You can't write the English off."

This further slip of the tongue prompted the interviewer to apologise for the language used – but it's likely that this faux pas was the last thing on Kelly's mind, having just calmly slotted home the winning penalty just moments before.

Plans to quit football – 'Confidence comes from within'

Despite coming up trumps for England on a number of occasions throughout the Euros this year, there was a time in 2025 where Kelly was ready to give up on her entire career.

Speaking after the semi-final against Italy, where she saw her penalty saved in the 119th minute but tapped home the rebound to send England to the final, the striker admitted she had had doubts about her footballing future earlier on in the year.

Kelly said: "The moments in January when I felt like giving up football, makes you so grateful for these moments here today.

"It makes you enjoy every minute of that. Confidence comes from within but from around you as well. The players I stand side-by-side with on the pitch breed confidence in each other. But I think a lot is self-taught."

The Telegraph reported that a breakdown in relationship with ex-City boss Gareth Taylor had contributed to Kelly receiving less and less game time for the club, making just six appearances during the 2024/25 season.

This freeze-out was contributing to Kelly's international career as well, as she wasn't initially called up for England's Nations League fixtures with Portugal and Spain in February. However, after a deadline day move to her childhood club Arsenal, the 24-year-old put blood, sweat and tears into getting back into Wiegman's selections for the Lionesses.

In May, she won the Champions League with Arsenal by beating Barcelona 1-0 to clinch the trophy – and now, she is a two-time Euros champion with England.

Kelly's recent struggles are a beacon of hope to many struggling through difficult moments in their lives – proving that with major lows come extremely big highs, and hard work is the best way to get back to the pinnacle of your career.
