Two-time World Cup winner Alex Morgan has already made a big impact at Tottenham Women despite not yet playing a game, according to former Spurs midfielder Wendy Martin.
Morgan's shock transfer to the Women's Super League club on September 12 created big headlines in England and across the Atlantic.
When the 31-year-old was starring at the 2019 World Cup with the United States, Spurs were gearing up for a first season in the top flight in which they eventually finished seventh.
Still relative WSL novices, they have secured the services of one of the game's leading figures and their former player says Morgan, who has 9.2million Instagram followers compared to Tottenham men's 8.8million, has made a mark.
"I think that clinical finishing is what Spurs have been missing."
Tottenham struggled in attack during their first WSL season, averaging a goal-a-game, and after consecutive league defeats to Everton and Man City this term, now face difficult matches with Manchester United and Arsenal.
Martin remains confident, however, that her old club can keep progressing.
"You see errors and mistakes creep into their game occasionally and when you play the top teams, you will be punished," she said.
"They have shown they are organised, can compete at the top level and have young players who will go from strength to strength, so it is exciting times for Tottenham."
