Australia striker to leave after six and a half years
Kerr is Chelsea’s all-time leading WSL goalscorer
Sam Kerr will leave Chelsea this summer when her contract expires, the club have announced, ending her six-and-a-half-year spell with the English side.
The Australia striker is Chelsea’s leading goalscorer in the Women’s Super League with 64 goals and has scored 115 times for the Londoners in all competitions, during an era of remarkable success for both her and the club.
The 32-year-old has won five WSL titles, three FA Cups and three League Cups during her time with Chelsea are only a lengthy knee injury prevented her from adding to that tally. She has won the WSL’s Golden Boot twice and she was named as the Football Writers’ Association’s women’s footballer of the year twice in succession in 2022 and 2023, during a spell where she was widely considered as one of the best players in the world. She was also the Ballon d’Or runner-up in 2023.
