What happened: The 26-year-old posted nine goals and three assists in Ligue 2 last season. He has opened this season with two goals in three games.

Why it matters: His positional range would add flexibility across Vancouver's attack. The move would bring in a forward already producing this season.

By the numbers: Diaby delivered 12 Ligue 2 goal contributions last season. His current scoring rate is 0.67 goals per game.

What to watch: The deal must be completed before Wednesday's MLS transfer deadline.
