Reports Link Sam Kerr to Denver Summit as Chelsea Exit Nears

Kerr calls the coverage premature, leaving the move unconfirmed.

Overview

  • - Multiple Australian outlets, citing Network 10 on Thursday, reported Kerr has agreed to join NWSL expansion side Denver Summit when her Chelsea deal ends.
  • - Hours after those reports, Kerr posted on Snapchat, "Don’t believe everything you read in the media man," suggesting no decision has been made.
  • - Chelsea and Denver Summit have issued no announcements, so both her exit and any move remain unconfirmed.
  • - Denver Summit is a first-year NWSL club coached by Nick Cushing with owners including Peyton Manning and Mikaela Shiffrin, and the league has been luring stars under a new “high-impact player” rule.
  • - Kerr has won five WSL titles and three FA Cups in six seasons at Chelsea but has played a smaller role after a long injury layoff, and a U.S. return would place her closer to wife Kristie Mewis and their young son.
