VANCOUVER, BC – Vancouver Whitecaps FC added another important piece to their attack on Friday, acquiring Brazilian winger Lucas Venuto via transfer from FK Austria Wien. The transaction was completed with the use of Targeted Allocation Money.
The 24-year-old makes the move to Major League Soccer after spending the last five seasons in the Austrian Bundesliga. He arrives with a resume that include 26 goals in 115 starts and 151 total appearances with Red Bull Brasil, FC Liefering, SV Grödig, and most recently Austria Wien.
“Lucas is a very fast and dynamic winger who has a lot of energy in his game,” said Whitecaps FC head coach Marc Dos Santos.
