The Montreal Impact signed attacking midfielder Lucas Ontivero on loan from Galatasaray on Monday.
Ontivero, 21, joined the Turkish giants two years ago but has spent most of his time out on loan, including stints in Hungary and Slovenia.
"After analyzing our roster during the offseason, we felt we needed to add a dynamic attacking midfielder," Impact technical director Adam Braz said in a statement.
