Newcastle United are in advanced talks to sign Republic of Ireland forward Leanne Kiernan from Liverpool, with the transfer expected to be completed in the coming days.
The 27-year-old forward has spent the last five years at Liverpool, establishing herself as a key attacking option for the Reds. Kiernan will now make the move to Newcastle as the club looks to bolster its squad depth.
Adding Attacking Firepower
The Irish international brings proven pedigree to Newcastle’s forward line, having previously been a former WSL 2 top-scorer. Her arrival is expected to strengthen the Magpies’ attacking capabilities as they push for domestic success this season.
Liverpool manager Gareth Taylor will oversee Kiernan’s departure from Anfield, marking the end of an important chapter in the player’s career on Merseyside. The move represents a significant transfer within the Women’s Super League structure, as Newcastle secure a player with considerable experience at the elite level of English women’s football.
