When Jordan Morris committed to the Seattle Sounders instead of trying his hand at a European club, which would be the pinnacle of global football, many eyebrows were raised, it must be said. Even for an American, choosing to play in Major League Soccer when you are capable of European football seems like an odd decision to make.
Nevertheless, from the moment he walked into the Sounders, it was quite clear that Morris would be a special player. And while there have been ups and downs along the way, including a horrible, season-ending ACL tear and position switch, the 25-year-old has now settled into quite the groove.
