In a tweet from the club's official X account, Chelsea announced that the Reds had finalised a permanent deal for Kerr. Luckily for Blues fans however, the tweet announcing the deal is not referring to Matildas captain who has plied her trade in west London since joining the club from the Chicago Red Stars in 2020. Instead, the post referred to Kerr's Scottish namesake, who completed a permanent move to Merseyside from German giants Bayern Munich after initially joining the club on loan in January. While the club admitted their joke just minutes later by sharing a screenshot of the new Liverpool signing accompanied with the caption, 'Ohhhhhh you thought…' many fans were still taken in by the ruse.
