Sam Kerr, Gotham FC, Chelsea
18 June 2026
Sam Kerr is reportedly set for an NWSL return with Gotham FC after leaving Chelsea, where she won five Women’s Super League titles and scored 116 goals. The Australia forward previously starred in the league before moving to England.
Gotham would gain one of the NWSL’s all-time leading scorers, though Kerr’s recent injury record affects roster-rule eligibility. The move would also give her a familiar platform after six trophy-heavy seasons at Chelsea and recent fitness setbacks.
