Due to the corona pandemic, each team will play just four games in the North American professional league NWSL this fall.
It has made several of the national team stars, who will play the Olympics next year, move to England.
Ten days ago, Alex Morgan, 31, was ready for Tottenham Hotspur.
- I am very happy and it is fantastic to meet the girls and be with the team.
Just being a part of this club is incredible.
The rich history and the women's team that has improved year by year.
I am very happy to take the next step in my career, she tells Spurs TV.
Morgan, who has scored 107 goals in 169 international appearances for the United States, comes closest from Orlando Pride.
- Everything happened very quickly.
I was in Orlando with my NWSL team and I realized that I need persistent training and matches for an entire season.
In less than 48 hours we managed to finish the contract and in 48 hours after that I landed here.
The striker has signed a loan contract that extends until the turn of the year, but with an option to play the entire season at the London club.
- I have heard so much good about the Super League and there have been some really big signings in recent years.
Some of my teammates from the US national team have come here and after hearing positive things from them, I wanted to challenge myself and play in a different league than the one I am used to.
Coming to "Spurs" so spontaneously and in the last minute before the transfer window closed gave a lot of adrenaline and joy.
