But there is a very juicy one just out of reach. She\u2019s one goal behind Fran Kirby in the all time list of Chelsea scorers. Two goals would put her clear at the top, an incredible way to go out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a little much to ask, but you can bet she\u2019ll be doing all she can to get there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what I love doing \u2013 breaking records and scoring goals,\u201d said Kerr on the club\u2019s official website.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo of course, I have my eye on it, but to be a part of Chelsea\u2019s history is something that I\u2019ll be forever proud of and it means a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>In other news\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Barcelona are showing an interest in Chelsea striker Joao Pedro, and their sporting director is apparently in London for a meeting about a potential transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Levi Colwill is going to be included in England\u2019s 55 man preliminary World Cup squad, and looks like he\u2019s got a chance of doing even better than that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
