Liverpool Signs Sam Kerr on Loan

Liverpool FC Women have secured a loan deal for Bayern Munich midfielder Sam Kerr until the end of the season, addressing their pressing midfield needs after several player departures and injuries. The 25-year-old Scotland international, who has had limited playing time at Bayern, expressed her excitement about competing in the Women's Super League and contributing her leadership and experience to the team. Kerr's move comes as Liverpool's midfield has been heavily depleted, with manager Matt Beard struggling to fill positions due to injuries and lack of depth. She aims to leverage her time in Germany and with the national team to bolster Liverpool's performance, who currently sit eighth in the WSL. Additionally, Liverpool is working to retain their key holding midfielder, Fuka Nagano, amid interest from other clubs as her contract nears its end. Liverpool's next match is against Brighton on January 17, 2024.
