Adam Boyd linked to Vancouver Whitecaps FC

According to British paper The Daily Mail, The Vancouver Whitecaps are supposedly courting Hartlepool United striker Adam Boyd. With Atiba Harris being the only striker currently signed to the squad that can play before September, the club will be scouring the planet over the next 30 days to find a couple of lads to put the ball in the net. Atiba Harris' career high for goals in a season is 4 so hopefully help is on the way.

Whitecaps FC Striker Omar Salgado Drawing Attention from Arsenal

The Whitecaps first overall selection in this year's MLS Superdraft, Omar Salgado, is apparently being followed closely by Arsenal and their coaching staff. The Daily Mirror is reporting that...

"Arsenal are also keeping tabs on the “new Chicharito” - Omar Salgado, a 17-year-old striker with Vancouver Whitecaps."

Arsene Wenger and Teitur Thordason are pals so if a deal eventually goes through someday on this kid don't act too surprised.  He can't play in a country outside his national homeland until he is 18 (September of this year) so unless his family moves with him don't expect any moves to London or anywhere else overseas for that matter.
