Alex Morgan joins Tottenham Women's team on loan 

Morgan has joined the Spurs women team, albeit until the end of the 2020 season. After her decision to join the Tottenham Women team, Alex Morgan became the fifth USWNT star to play in the English top flight. The two-time world champion with the USWNT is a potent threat in front of goal, having scored 107 goals in 169 appearances, thus bringing some much-needed threat to Tottenham's attack. 

Alex Morgan is not the only USWNT player currently trying to take the English top flight by storm. Sam Mewis and Rose Lavelle agreed to join Manchester City earlier this summer. Across the Etihad, Christen Press and Tobin Heath agreed to join Manchester United.

Alex Morgan career in brief 

This is not the first time that Alex Morgan has been sent out on loan by Orlando Pride. She has tried and succeeded in France when she joined the highly successful Olympique Lyon side for the 2016-17 season. Her time in Europe was extremely successful and could be well comprehended from the fact that she won three titles including the Women's Champions League during the season-long loan. Alex Morgan also clinched a gold medal at the 2012 London Olympics, bagging the extra-time winner against Canada in the semi-final.
