Kerr could play anywhere: Kellond-Knight

Nov 24, 2017 - 10:11 PM Star Matildas forward Sam Kerr could play at any team in any league in the world, but teammate Elise Kellond-Knight isn't about to tell her where to go.

Kerr is on top of the football world at the moment for both club and country.

The West Australian scored twice in Australia's 3-0 defeat of China on Wednesday night, lengthening a five-game streak in which she's scored nine goals.

If she scores on Sunday in the second game of the two-match international series, Kerr will eclipse Sarah Walsh's run of scoring in five straight internationals.

At club level, she's just as dominant.

Kerr was named the most valuable player in the US this season, becoming the competition's all-time leading scorer at just 24.

The striker will spend her summer in action for home W-League side Perth Glory but then must decide whether to return to New Jersey-based Sky Blue FC or chance her arm elsewhere.

Is the time right to head to Europe and play in the world's best women's competition - the Champions League?

Kellond-Knight, who has played in the Champions League before, says it's clearly within Kerr.

"She's world class and could potentially play at any club that she wants," she told AAP.

"She's at the level of any striker in the world at the moment.

"For her, it's about where she feels comfortable and where she's satisfying what she wants on and off the field.

"Her options are unlimited."

The midfielder, who missed Wednesday night's win but will start in Geelong on Sunday, said playing abroad would improve any footballer.

"You get regular football. I'm playing 11 months of the year," she said.

"And the speed of the play is better. The style of the play in Australia is great but it can be a little bit slow.

"By going overseas you have to become more athletic and make decisions faster and you get more football."

After three seasons with Turbine Potsdam in Germany, Kellond-Knight has her own decision to make at season's end.

"It's about having a good training environment, good facilities and good players to train and play with," she said.

"As long as the club is ticking all of those boxes I'm happy.

"But I love to travel and to experience new types of football so I'm open to playing in new countries."
