Here are six things to know about the 25-year-old midfielder…
She’s a Scottish international. Kerr has amassed 32 full international caps after making his senior debut at the age of 20. Her only goal for her country to date came against Northern Ireland in July 2023. At club level, she will team up with an international teammate: the Reds and Scottish central defender Jenna Clark. “Talking to Jenna, she said the culture here, the team environment and all the players are so nice,” says Kerr. “When I arrived, I saw it with my own eyes. That played a big role for me and one of the main reasons why I thought it was good to come here. So, thank you Jenna! »
and a multiple champion. Kerr is no stranger to trophies, having won five Scottish Women’s Premier League titles, as well as a Scottish Cup and League Cup each, during her matches with Glasgow City and Rangers. She also helped Bayern win the 2023-24 Frauen-Bundesliga title in their debut campaign in
Germany.
She has a record in the Champions League. Kerr made over 20 appearances in the Women’s Champions League during her career with previous clubs Glasgow City, Rangers and Bayern. She was part of the Glasgow City team that reached the quarter-finals of the competition in 2019–20.

and 2023 respectively.
She is a “typical Scottish player”. This is how Kerr described herself when she signed for Bayern from Rangers in the summer of 2023. She said: “I am an energetic player who gives everything for the team. I’m hungry, I work hard and I love being a part of every tackle. I’m a typical Scottish player. »
Sam has a well-known namesake. Of course, she shares her name with the Chelsea and Australia striker, which caused confusion before her move to Bayern. She recalled: “I was just relaxing in my room when my agent called saying, ‘Bayern Munich have come to get you,’ and I said, ‘Are you sure they have the good Sam Kerr? ! » That’s the first thing I said to him! »
