Australian striker Sam Kerr has signed a two-and-a-half year deal with Chelsea Women in what will be her first foray into Europe.
The 26-year-old has split her time between the United States and Australia since 2013 - most recently lining up for NWSL side Chicago Red Stars and W-League club Perth Glory.
Kerr, who was recently placed third in Goal's top 50 female footballers, has enjoyed an outstanding 2019 and arrives at the Blues in red-hot form.
The Matildas skipper was named the NWSL MVP for a second time this year as she set a record for most goals scored in the competition.
At the Women's World Cup in France meanwhile, Kerr struck four times in a group match against Jamaica and bagged five goals across an otherwise disappointing tournament for Australia.
Kerr also recently bagged a double as the Matildas edged past Chile 2-1 on November 9 in Western Sydney and will now link up with Chelsea in January.
"The WSL is the best league in Europe," Kerr said. "I want team success and I don’t want it to come easy.
"I feel Chelsea have been building something special over the years and I want to be a part of that – I want to lift some trophies."
