VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — The Vancouver Whitecaps have acquired Fredy Montero on loan from Tianjin Teda of the Chinese Super League.
Montero, who is on a one-year loan, previously played for Major League Soccer's Seattle Sounders and is a three-time league All-Star. The 29-year-old Colombian striker is the Sounders' all-time leading scorer with 47 goals and 34 assists in 119 regular-season matches from 2009-12.
"I'm happy to be here, I can't describe it," Montero said. "Being back in MLS and just landing in this organization makes me feel like I'm home again and (I) wish to be on the field right now.
