Matildas superstar Sam Kerr will make her long-awaited Chelsea debut on Sunday in what’s been called a turning point signing for women’s football in the UK. Kerr touched down in London last weekend from the US and will feature against Reading in the Barclays Women’s Super League with the London club hoping her arrival will help them claim a Champions League spot. The top two sides in the WSL will qualify for the Champions League and Chelsea are currently third - four points behind leaders Arsenal and one behind Manchester City - but with a game in hand. “The WSL is the best league in Europe,” Kerr said on the Chelsea website. I feel Chelsea have been building something special over the years and I want to be a part of that — I want to lift some trophies.”The match kicks off at 11.30pm (AEDT) on Sunday.
