The USWNT star joined fellow new-signee Crystal Dunn on CBS Mornings to discuss her move from Chicago to New York, among other subjects. Davidson revealed that the Gotham staff, the team culture and their recent championship win all factored into her decision.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">EXCLUSIVE: Reigning <a href="https://twitter.com/NWSL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NWSL</a> champion <a href="https://twitter.com/GothamFC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GothamFC</a> has signed soccer star <a href="https://twitter.com/tierna_davidson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@tierna_davidson</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

"It feels great. You know this period of free agency and looking at different teams was really important and I took my time with it. But you know, Gotham FC really boasts an incredible style of soccer, a really exciting style of play. Their staff has implemented it so well. And you know, the team culture seems quite strong and the team chemistry is clearly there. So I'm really excited to be joining this team."

WHAT DAVIDSON SAID

With the addition of Davidson, Gotham have essentially found their Ali Krieger replacement while getting better at the same time. It was a win-win move for both parties, and the NY/NJ side are now among favorites to win the 2024 NWSL title as well now - and that's not to mention they've also secured Dunn's signature, too.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 25-year-old World Cup winner will now get to work with her new teammates and staff, with NWSL preseason set to begin in the coming weeks. Boss Juan Carlos Amoros will instantly start instilling his values, tactics and plans with Davidson, as she'll be a crucial part of the picture.
