Tottenham announce signing of two-time World Cup winner Alex Morgan

While the Premier League season kicked off yesterday, the FA Women’s Super League kicked off last Sunday. The Tottenham Hotspur women’s team has successfully negotiated the signing of the 31-year-old striker Alex Morgan on a loan deal. She is set to play with Spurs for the entirety of the 2020-21 season.

Morgan previously played for Orlando Pride of the NWSL. She now becomes the fifth American player to make the move abroad.

Lauded as one of the best female strikers in the world, Morgan has been a superstar for the USWNT. She guided the women’s team to two successive World Cup victories and has scored 107 goals in 169 appearances for her national team.

She was awarded the US Soccer’s Female Player of the Year award in 2018 and also managed to take home the silver boot along with the 2019 World Cup. Her goal tally was equal to that of her teammate Megan Rapinoe, and she only lost out on the fewest minutes rule.

While the USWNT star has not played since May due to the birth of her son, Charlie, few can doubt her talent and her skills.

Along with the World Cup, Morgan has also led the national team to multiple Olympic medals and looks to gain her match fitness back before the time comes once again next year.

While local rivals Chelsea and Arsenal have dominated the Women’s Super League for the last few years, Morgan’s arrival can provide competition to the Blues and the Gunners if she manages to hit the ground running.

Morgan is also recognized as an author, a graduate in political economy and the face of women’s football in the States. She is easily the most beloved player of all, becoming a symbol for combating sexism in the sport.

Fans have reacted very positively to the Lilywhites’ newest signing as they welcomed the player to the London based club over on Twitter.
