Werder Bremen on Tuesday confirmed that Sounders FC Academy product Jordan Morris will train with the German Bundesliga club later this month as he continues to weigh his professional options.
SI.com first broke the news that Morris, the 21-year-old Mercer Island native who was offered a historically lucrative Homegrown Player contract by the Sounders last spring, will travel to Germany this weekend after deciding to forego his senior year at Stanford. Morris led the Cardinal to the NCAA title last month and is one of three finalists for the Hermann Trophy Award honoring the top player in college soccer.
