It has been a busy week for KC Current, who recently announced Patrick Mahomes as their new owner. And it was yet another shocking move from the monarchs after they made an appalling move.

The Currents traded Lynn Williams to NJ/NY Gotham FC for the second overall pick. They selected Michelle Cooper, a talented attacker from Duke. Winner of the Mac Hermann Trophy, Cooper has 19 goals and 11 assists in 22 matches.

Moreover, in over 40 matches at the college level, she scored 31 goals and recorded 16 assists. The currents were not in the market for an attacker. However, these stats were tempting enough to sign the forward, who has been a sensational talent since then.

She has been a part of the U.S. U-20 Women’s Youth National Team. Cooper was to net eight goals at the 2022 CONCACAF Women’s U-20 Championship, thus becoming the top scorer of the tournament. She also won the golden boot and golden ball as the best player as well.
