Morgan is the fifth high-profile U.S. international to join the WSL this season after Rose Lavelle and Sam Mewis signed for Manchester City while Tobin Heath and Christen Press joined Manchester United.

Gibbs knows what it’s like to be the next big thing, having signed for Arsenal from Wimbledon’s academy in 2004 to become part of a hyped generation with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Jack Wilshere. ‘You can understand Mark’s frustration because anyone who watched Grady last season would have seen how influential he is. But it was fortunate for us because we were on the other side of the fence,’ said Gibbs.

His first season at The Hawthorns ended in relegation when Albion went through four managers — Tony Pulis, Gary Megson, Alan Pardew and Darren Moore — but yo-yo clubs always bounce back and The Baggies are in the Premier League again, starting against Leicester City on Sunday.

Sept 12 (Reuters) – Tottenham Hotspur Women have signed United States international and twice World Cup winner Alex Morgan on a season-long deal, the Women’s Super League (WSL) club said in a statement website on Saturday.

There was polite applause from the Staggies supporters in the east stand as the home team emerged from the opposite side of the pitch and by and large they stuck to the strict code of conduct drawn up for the day.

There were weaknesses of course. The way the Leeds artillery advanced, flooding the Liverpool penalty area with players, left Phillips terribly stranded and overrun at times. For periods, there was not really a Leeds midfield to speak of.

Carragher claims Thiago clamour ‘disrespectful’ to Liverpool midfield

Reports in Germany claim the 29-year-old has agreed terms with Liverpool and is desperate for a move, but Carragher claims it will not be ‘the end of the world’ if the Spaniard does not sign.

Manchester United target Sergio Reguilon ‘prefers a return to Sevilla’

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have hit a roadblock in their pursuit of left-back Reguilon with Real Madrid reportedly insistent on a £27million buy-back clause. The 23-year-old made his debut for Spain.

Age and experience would make Gibbs a natural source of advice for Slaven Bilic’s inexperienced talents, such as Matheus Pereira, Romaine Sawyers and Grady Diangana, the last of whom was signed from West Ham last week.

Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez agrees to join Aston Villa

The 28-year old Argentine travelled to Villa Park and the club’s Bodymoor Heath training ground on Saturday where he was given a tour and told about the club’s rich history and the role he would play.

Steve Evans would not even give him a place on the bench. Bielsa simply couldn’t fathom why the player was playing in the forward line and not shielding defence. The quality and speed of his distribution on Saturday night suggests he will be another fine addition to descansoaratos.blogspot.com this division.

But Bielsa’s resolve to stick to his principles – ‘It’s not a question of vanity. It’s a question of conviction and style of play. It’s the only way I know – mean that Leeds will deliver something vibrant and new to a Premier League which can be moribund at times.

The £18million capture of Diangana, excellent on loan at The Hawthorns last season, raised eyebrows at his former club West Ham, whose skipper Mark Noble voiced his displeasure about the 22-year-old winger being sold.
