The Mexican side is yet to announce the former MLS forward as a signing but confirmed the 27-year-old is training with the club.

Former MLS forward Luis Silva is training with Mexican side Tigres, the team confirmed Friday.

"Luis Silva, who comes from MLS, joins training," Tigres' official account tweeted along with a photo of Silva doing a plyometric exercise. He is wearing the number 30 on his training top, which was expected to be the number of Chilean forward Hector Mancilla, who rejoined Tigres this winter.

The reigning Liga MX champion is yet to announce Silva as a signing, but reports last month indicated the forward would join the Mexican side. The 27-year-old was out of contract after spending the last half of 2015 with Real Salt Lake. Silva was traded to the Western Conference club from D.C. United.

Tigres currently have no open spots for foreign players, but Monterrey media outlet Multimedios reported Silva is eligible for a Mexican passport and could join Tigres as a Mexican player.
