"Reyna is an exciting, hard-working young talent, and we are thrilled to add him to our club," Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson said in a statement. "He's very direct with the ball, he can make the final pass, and he can score goals. He has all the attributes we want."

Reyna has made 17 appearances for the Peru national team, scoring twice.
