Timbers sign Peru international Polo on loan from Morelia

The Portland Timbers have signed Peru international Andy Polo on loan from Liga MX side Monarcas Morelia, the MLS club announced Wednesday.

Portland used targeted allocation money to complete the deal, which includes an option to buy the 23-year-old winger.

Polo joined Morelia in January 2017 and scored two goals in 25 matches (six starts) for the Liga MX club. He also has one goal in 15 caps for Peru since making his debut in 2016, appearing in both legs of the November playoff win over New Zealand that secured the nation's spot at the World Cup.
