As tipped by Marc Weber at The Province, Vancouver Whitecaps have signed Yordy Reyna to a deal the club has stated is for 2018 with options for the following two seasons.
The 23-year-old Peruvian forward is expected to join the 'Caps this week at their preseason training camp in Wales.
This of relevance to New York Red Bulls' fans for two reasons: Vancouver is RBNY's first opponent of the 2017 season; Reyna has joined the 'Caps from RB Salzburg. If the Red Bulls of New York are knocked out of the 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League by one of the former Red Bulls of Salzburg - well, soccer can be a cruel game.
