Octavio Rivero leaving Vancouver Whitecaps for Chile?

Where there is smoke, is there fire?

Octavio Rivero joined the Vancouver Whitecaps prior to the 2015 season. After flubbing his first open-net opportunity against TFC, Rivero showed a strikers-mind coming back to score later in the contest. The quick start continued for Rivero and he was awarded the first Player of the Month for 2015. However, Rivero went from hot to ice cold....like glacier cold! Failing to do much of anything away from the penalty spot for the rest of the season, Rivero failed to live up to hopes? expectations?

The slow first season is not uncommon for players coming into the league.
