Yordy Reyna, a 23-year-old Peruvian international winger-forward, will join the Caps for training camp in Wales this coming week.

The Caps used targeted allocation money (TAM) to complete the deal with Austrian Bundesliga champions FC Red Bull Salzburg. Reyna has also spent time on loan with Austrian side SV Grödig and FC Liefering, and with German club RB Leipzip in 2015.

He made his professional debut in Peru’s top flight with Alianza Lima before a move to Salzburg in 2013.

Reyna’s scored 14 times in 41 appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga and has two goals in 17 games for Peru, one against Trinidad and Tobago and the other against Panama, and both in 2013 friendlies.
