Sam Kerr’s debut shows WSL is thriving as relentless
Arsenal roll on but is there fresh hope for Liverpool’s survival bid?
It doesn’t matter where you are: fans want to see big names and it was great to see such a large, mixed crowd turn out for Sam Kerr’s debut at Kingsmeadow. Her arrival at
Chelsea feels like a gamechanger: the
Australian is in her prime and it is the first time a player at her level has come over from the
American league. We have seen Carli Lloyd, who played for
Manchester City at a later stage of her career, and a few less-celebrated names make the switch but this signing feels different. The Women’s Super League is competing with NWSL to be the best league in the world and people everywhere will have sat up and taken notice.
