10 Best World Football Transfers Of January 2020 Window
2. Sam Kerr - Chicago Red Stars To Chelsea
Anyone feeling disappointed by Chelsea's conspicuous lack of January transfer activity has obviously not been paying sufficient attention to their female counterparts, as Chelsea Women have made what may be one of the most impactful signings of the window.
Chelsea finished 12 points behind champions Arsenal in last season's Women's Super League, but the arrival of one of the true greats of the women's game could be just what it takes to tip things back in favour of the 2018 title winners.
Australia captain Kerr has scored goals wherever she has played, including four in one game at last summer's World Cup. At the age of 26, the Matildas star is already the highest scoring player ever in both the Australian and American women's league. Could England be next?
Having been top scorer and MVP in the 2019 National Women's Soccer League, Kerr actually agreed to leave Chicago for Chelsea back in November, joining as soon as the window opened.
Her early games in the WSL have been challenging, struggling with the physicality of the English game and a niggling quadricep strain. Despite this, though, she still scored a crucial goal to defeat Arsenal three weeks ago. Imagine how much difference she can make once she settles in properly.
