Overview

  • Multiple reports say the 25-year-old Canadian traveled to England for a medical and is expected to sign for the Championship club.
  • Transfermarkt reports an agreement close with a long-term contract, while other outlets describe the deal as a reported two-year term that has not been officially confirmed.
  • Fee figures vary by report, with Transfermarkt citing about €2 million plus add-ons and a sell-on clause and The Province citing more than $3 million, with no official number disclosed.
