With this kind of determination, Kerr’s hunger for success is unmistakable.
A Boost for Coach Sonia Bompastor
Kerr's continued presence provides a notable boost for Bompastor, who comes with a decorated background from Lyon. As the new steward of Chelsea's ambitions, having one of the world’s best strikers at her disposal significantly lifts the team's prospects. Paul Green, Chelsea’s general manager, echoed these sentiments, stressing Kerr's importance: "We are delighted that Sam has extended her deal with the club. Sam is a leader and one of the world’s best strikers and goalscorers. She has been very important to our success, and we look forward to welcoming her back from injury next season."
