Chelsea Women striker Sam Kerr made headlines around the football world on Thursday morning with a highly confusing contract announcement.
The Australian thrilled social media with an emotional video at 9:00 a.m. and shortly thereafter announced the extension of her four-year stay.

The original clip included the lines “I didn’t know how to have this conversation” and “My time at Chelsea was unforgettable” and it seemed like she almost fell apart several times.
However, the whole thing was a clever trick, as it was subsequently confirmed that she would stay.
Kerr was seen watching the clip on her phone before turning to the camera and saying: “Guys, what is this, I’m not going!”
Finally she says: “Did you really think I would leave with 99 goals?”
The clip left Chelsea fans baffled, with one commenting: “I honestly don’t understand it.”
Kerr has been a revelation since joining the Blues from the Chicago Red Stars in 2019, developing into arguably the best striker in the game and one of the best players in the women’s game.
However, the departure of long-time head coach Emma Hayes to the US national team led to speculation about a number of top talents.
However, their talismanic striker has put an end to all the rumors surrounding her and there are rumors that things could get even better.
According to reports from Spain, Chelsea could make an expensive transfer for Barcelona megastar and Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati.
This would make things even better for the accurate Kerr, but it is not as if she needs any further help to get the ball into the net.
Kerr has been involved in 78 goals in 75 WSL games and has won the league five times, the FA Cup three times and the League Cup twice.
