The Philadelphia Union are looking to bring in defensive help and it appears that they have targeted an international with notable MLS experience.

Alvas Powell has emerged as a target of the Philadelphia Union, multiple sources tell ‘MLS Multiplex.’ The Jamaican international could be poised to make the switch back to MLS after joining Al-Hilal in Sudan in late January as the likeliness of a move has grown in recent days.

No deal is done yet, a source said, but the player has been targeted as a possible addition by Union sporting director Ernst Tanner.
