Kwasi Poku

Analysis: Poku arrived in Vancouver during the latest transfer window with the aim of reinforcing the Whitecaps' attack, though he's yet to play for the club as he recovers from the issue. The club might manage his recovery carefully given the recurrence risk that hamstring injuries carry, and the fact that they can continue to rely on Rayan Elloumi and Thomas Muller in the short term. Still, with Brian White (hamstring) also out, the squad will lack solid depth until one of the injured players recovers.

Joins Whitecaps

Poku has completed a transfer to Vancouver from Brussels, according to his new club.

Analysis: Poku is back in his home nation as he finds his new home, with the forward leaving Belgium for MLS play with the Whitecaps. The 23-year-old signs until the 2028/29 season, coming off a season with Brussels, where he recorded six goals in 31 appearances. It may take some time for the forward to find time in the time off the fresh move, competing with Brian White and Thomas Muller for time. However, with limited depth in the attacking department, he could be a useful option from the bench.
