According to Caitlin Murray reporting for ESPNW, the Portland Thorns have finalized the long-awaited signing of French midfielder Amandine Henry.
The Thorns have reportedly been pursuing Henry since late last season and hints have continued to surface linking the two parties, including a recent tweet from Thorns owner Merritt Paulson hinting at upcoming news from the Thorns. At this point, with the NWSL preseason kicking off in just over a week, the signing looks imminent.
While the Thorns have a number of players that could slot into the No. 6 position for the side, Henry will become the instant favorite for the position.
