‘Golden’ Sam Kerr can be face of Chelsea’s future after penning new deal
Sam Kerr has solidified her future with Chelsea by signing a new contract, committing to the club until at least the summer of 2026. Despite being sidelined for the latter part of the season due to an ACL injury, Kerr’s presence was felt as Chelsea secured their fifth consecutive Women’s Super League (WSL) title.

Watching from the Directors’ Box at Old Trafford, her passionate reactions mirrored the intensity on the field. Fans, aware of her significance to the team, chanted for her to stay, and their hopes were realized when Kerr extended her tenure with the club. The Australian striker has made an indelible mark at Chelsea, with 99 goals in 128 matches, along with five WSL titles, three FA Cups, and two League Cups to her name.

Kerr expressed her excitement about the new contract, stating it is an honor to remain with a club as prestigious as Chelsea. Her commitment to pushing for more silverware aligns perfectly with Chelsea’s ambitions.

Although the club had fun teasing fans with a spoof video hinting at her departure, Kerr’s decision to stay was reportedly made months earlier. For Chelsea, securing Kerr’s future is more than just retaining a star player; it’s about cementing her status as a central figure in their continued dominance in women’s football.
