'I loved it more than I expected' - USWNT star Morgan explains why leaving Tottenham was so difficult

Alex Morgan admits her decision to leave Tottenham last month was harder than she expected, but said ultimately she returned to the U.S. for the benefit of her family and her NWSL side Orlando Pride.

Morgan signed for Spurs in September and departed in January, playing just five games and scoring two goals after initially battling a knee injury.

Though she didn’t manage as much playing time as she'd hoped, Morgan said she enjoyed her time with Tottenham more than she anticipated and her decision to return to Orlando was not an easy one.
