Well, it's finally over. The long and entertaining transfer saga of Jordan Morris finally came to a conclusion on Thursday when the Seattle Sounders introduced him as their newest player.
Despite a lengthy training stint with Werder Bremen, who reportedly offered him a contract, Morris has decided to start his professional soccer career with his hometown Sounders. The Mercer Island, WA native had a great opportunity to begin his career in the Bundesliga, but came to the conclusion that staying home was best for him and his development.
It's arguable that the striker could face tougher competition for playing time with the Sounders than he would have with Werder Bremen, who were desperate for a goal scorer.
