Social media went into overdrive as soon as it was revealed that Westfield Matildas skipper Sam Kerr had signed to play with English giants Chelsea.
The 26-year-old superstar inked a two-and-a-half year deal with the English Women’s Super League leaders on Wednesday in a move that will see Kerr play in Europe for the first time.
And it led to plenty of buzz on Twitter, with Kerr’s new Blues teammates quick to welcome her to the London club.
