Alex Morgan

[JKendall13]

A crude measure, but based on social media follows/interaction she is the world’s most famous female athlete in a team sport. Only trailing Serena, Ronda Rousey (doesn’t even count anymore), and two women in WWE overall. https://sportsshow.net/most-followed-female-athletes-on-instagram/

And I assure you she is a top 5 women’s soccer player in the world when in form. Two time World Cup winner. Only slight worry is she just had a baby six months ago and hasn’t played since. But with the Olympics this summer she’ll be very motivated to get back to top form.

Massive for the profile of Spurs.

Can she play for the mens team?

 

[Cavehillspur]

The shirt sales should help fund the Bale deal....

All joking aside that's a massive coup for the women's team, fantastic.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

I don’t follow women’s football but still know of her, I’m pleased to see Spurs taking women’s football seriously and trying to become competitive after trailing behind for years.

Now if they could just do the same for the men’s team...

Joe Lewis was involved in the development of the training grounds for Orlando City and Orlando Pride. It's possible that his relationship with the clubs helped this transfer and the transfer of Shelina Zadorsky and Alanna Kennedy.

This is a massive coup.
Considering the media have been buzzing so much about the couple of yanks that recently joined City, for us to pull this out of the bag is amazing.
She's a giant star in the women's game and for her to come to our (relatively) new team is fantastic.

The majority of that top 10 was in WWE at one point or another. Natalya Neidhart and Eva Marie shock me though. Guess Eva's talent was far better suited on social media than in the ring in the end.

Anyway to keep on topic, it just goes to show the reach Morgan has and how many more eyes will be on Tottenham Ladies and even possibly more on the men through this.

Really impressive highlights reel. Thanks guys.

Just a reminder this was in 2016 in the US.

Edited:
Pasted the wrong link. This is the right one - on the right.

Looks like Cavani tbf ?

 

[Finchyid]

Is this the under the radar striker we have been talking about

 

[Fredo]

It's not bale so I don't care.

 

[snakehipsspurs]

This is crazy news. She’s essentially the Ronaldo of women’s football. Spurs Women’s squad is going to be really exciting this year, hope they bring home a trophy!

 

[Wizzy77]

Ah.... the "under the radar" striker revealed?

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

Yet another move that raises the profile of the club in the US market. Very smart.

Being a bit of sceptic, you’ve got to feel that is the main motivation for a move like this..

 

[Derryank]

A savage player. Best in the world for 3-5 year spell.

ABSOLUTELY underestimated signing.

So proud of this club and ownership.

COYS

 

[SushiMane]

The USWNT trains at the Tottenham Hotspur facilities when they can I think, wonder if that played anything into it?

Lol that would be like if we signed Ronaldo and you think the main motivation was getting fans in Portugal.
