What happened: Poku joins the Whitecaps as a Canadian international forward. The move brings him back to Canada after a spell in Belgium’s second tier.

Why it matters: The addition gives Vancouver another option across its attack for the second half of the MLS regular season. It also adds a Canadian player with prior domestic experience at Forge FC.

What to watch: Watch whether Poku enters the matchday squad when Vancouver returns to BC Place against Los Angeles FC on Aug. 1.
