How do Chelsea replace Sam Kerr? Blues' striker search at breaking point after Khadija Shaw, Salma Paralluelo & Felicia Schroder rejections

How do Chelsea replace Sam Kerr? Blues' striker search at breaking point after Khadija Shaw, Salma Paralluelo & Felicia Schroder rejections highlights a mounting crisis for the club after three key rejections. Chelsea had targeted a top centre-forward in the summer window following Sam Kerr’s departure at season end and Catarina Macario leaving in March, leaving only limited options such as Mayra Ramírez and Aggie Beever-Jones. The article says Khadija Shaw appeared close after scoring to power Manchester City to a Women’s Super League title in 10 years, but she then announced she was staying. Chelsea then pursued Felicia Schroder, 19, after her 30 goals and nine assists for Hacken and her Europa Cup-winning form, but Real Madrid signed her last week. Salma Paralluelo also declined Chelsea as her Barcelona contract ended, with many European clubs chasing her after scoring twice in the Champions League final. It also notes Chelsea scored 44 league goals last season, their lowest in seven years, and created less than expected, with only three teams underperforming based on expected goals.
