'Erling Haaland was stealing my chips!' - Esme Morgan reveals highlight of Man City career as Lionesses defender prepares for NWSL move to Washington Spirit

The Cityzens confirmed on Monday that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/esme-morgan-man-city-lionesses-defender-transfer-nwsl-washington-spirit/bltfec79e1a9e7f2a51#csbdd118515901e7d6" target="_blank">Lionesses defender Morgan will leave the club</a> this summer. Per BBC, the 23-year-old is all set to head to the NWSL where she will sign for Washington Spirit, however, her move will hinge on international clearance and a work permit.

WHAT HAPPENED?

As Morgan ends her seven-year-long association with City, she fondly revealed the highlights from the journey with the WSL side. The England international also recalled the time she was left astonished looking at a mural on the streets of Manchester with Erling Haaland stealing chips from her packet.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking to the <a href="https://www.mancity.com/news/womens/esme-morgan-man-city-has-shaped-me-as-a-player-and-person-63852490" target="_blank">club's official website</a>, Morgan said, "It feels so strange. I remember the first time there was a kit announcement, and I was on the side of the Etihad, I just thought ‘Wow this is crazy’. I drove past it every day and sometimes I’d be driving into training and I’d see it on the side of the stadium and I’d just be like ‘That’s my face up there’."It’s just mad. Murals when [Erling] Haaland was stealing my chips it’s just crazy! I am just a fan and I will always be such a big fan of the Club so to be alongside players who I still love watching every single week is so surreal and I don’t think it’ll ever get normal."She added, "Seeing fans with my name on the back it just gives me goosebumps it’s so special because I was once a fan with players’ names on the back of my shirt looking up to them. Having that with me on the other side of it is so special. I feel very lucky."

WHAT ESME MORGAN SAID

The England international will now have to wait for her work permit and international clearance before she can officially complete her move to the US.
