Scouting report: Jordan Morris, the American Wayne Rooney
Morris is one of the most interesting prospects of American football and some European clubs have already set sights on him.
Morris is one of the most interesting prospects of American football and some European clubs have already set sights on him. He has already scored seven goals in 18 appearances in his first pro season. Despite Morris’ great performances, Seattle Sounders are not in the form of their life sitting in the last positions of the Western Conference.
The 21-year-old striker has already nine appearances with senior USA national team. When he’s not on the pitch he loves playing tennis and doing tricks with the ball at his feet. West Ham know very well what is like playing against him as Morris netted two goals in a friendly game played against the Hammers, whilst Werder Bremen are the first European club to have offered him a trial in the Old Continent.
A die-hard supporter of Arsenal, Morris’ idol is Wayne Rooney with whom he shares many peculiar features like the physical strength as well as a good technique. After Chelsea’s Matt Maziga and BVB’s Christian Pulisic, USA have another potential star in their squad.
