WSL: Liverpool loan Sam Kerr from Bayern Munich until the end of the 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 and won 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 moving 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 “ambition”.

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

“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 will bring that to the pitch in every game and every training session.”

Kerr made his debut for Scotland in 2020 and was named Player of the Year in 2022.

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