Tottenham Women sign United States star Alex Morgan
The two-time World Cup winner will spend the upcoming season in north London.
Tottenham have reached an agreement to sign World Cup winner Alex Morgan on a one-year deal.
The London club have announced the United States international will join them for the 2020-21 Women’s Super League campaign, subject to obtaining a visa.
Morgan, 31, has scored 107 goals for the US in 169 appearances and was a member of the side that won back-to-back World Cups in 2015 and 2019.
Her arrival is another coup for the English game after a recent influx of talent into WSL.
She is the fifth member of last year’s World Cup-winning side to move to the competition after Sam Mewis and Rose Lavelle (Manchester City), and Tobin Heath and Christen Press (Manchester United).
She made headlines after last year’s semi-final victory over England when she celebrated a goal by pretending to drink a cup of tea.
The move sees Morgan step up her return to action after giving birth to a daughter in May.
She has also played for Western New York Flash, Seattle Sounders, Portland Thorns and Orlando Pride.
A statement on the Spurs website read: “We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement for the signing of two-time FIFA Women’s World Cup winner Alex Morgan, subject to obtaining a visa.
“The USA international striker joins us for the 2020-21 season and will wear the number 13 shirt.”
