WSL: Liverpool sign Sam Kerr on loan from Bayern Munich until end of season

Liverpool have signed Bayern Munich midfielder Sam Kerr on loan until the end of the season.

The 25-year-old Scotland international joined Bayern in 2023, winning the Women’s Bundesliga in her first year with the German club.

She also won four Scottish Premier League trophies with Glasgow City between 2016 and 2019, before transferring to Glasgow Rangers and helping the side lift their first league title in 2022.

Kerr said she spoke to Liverpool manager Matt Beard and “loved” the club’s “ambitions”.

She added: “The Women’s Super League is the most competitive league, I mean people dream to play here. I’m so excited to be involved in that.

“For me as a player, what I think I can bring to the team is some leadership qualities, a lot of energy and passion, and I’ll bring that on the pitch in every game and every training session.”

Kerr made her debut for Scotland in 2020 and was named player of the year in 2022.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are eighth in the WSL table and play Brighton on 17 January at 19:00 GMT.
