The wait is over, Thomas M ü ller is a member of the Vancouver Whitecaps. After more than a week of speculation, the 35-year-old German star officially signed with the Whitecaps on Wednesday. He’s scheduled to land in Vancouver next week, and perhaps play as soon as the Whitecaps’ next home match on Aug. 17.

With that ability, he could fit into various formations and tactical plans for the Whitecaps and head coach Jesper Sørensen. At the same time, he can bring unmatched class, either as a winger, attacking midfielder or second striker alongside U.S. men’s national team forward, Brian White.
