VANCOUVER, BC – Every team has their difference maker, the talismanic player who makes the team tick whenever he's on the pitch and contributes heavily to their success.
Toronto FC have Sebastian Giovinco. Portland have Diego Valeri. The thinking goes that Vancouver Whitecaps FC have been missing such a player these past few seasons. Pedro Morales certainly provided that spark in his Newcomer of the Year season in 2014, but as injuries took their toll, so did the Chilean's influence on the team.
After a couple of seasons of searching, it looks like Vancouver may have finally found that player in Peruvian attacker Yordy Reyna.
