Striker Sam Kerr - Chelsea's all-time top scorer in the Women's Super League - will leave the club when her contract expires this summer.

Kerr, 32, has scored 115 times in 177 appearances for the Blues and her final game will be at home against Manchester United on Saturday.

The Australian, who joined Chelsea in November 2019, has helped the club win five Women's Super League titles, three FA Cups, three League Cups and the Community Shield.

"When I reflect on my Chelsea career and doing it for the last time [against Manchester United this Saturday], I just feel happy," said Kerr. "Happy that it happened, and I feel so grateful to have played for this club for six years and won as many trophies as we could."
