Clint Dempsey said Tuesday that there will always be room on the Sounders FC roster for a talented player like Jordan Morris, but the trick will be finding a way to get everyone on the field.
Werder Bremen revealed on Tuesday that Morris has declined an offer from the German Bundesliga club and intends to pursue his career in the United States. The Sounders offered Morris the most lucrative Homegrown Player contract in league history last year, although there’s been no confirmation from either side that he will join the club.
Dempsey praised Morris during the league’s annual media and marketing tour in Los Angeles and added that if Morris signs with the Sounders, it could pose a welcome challenge for head coach Sigi Schmid.
