MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps will sign Icelandic international forward Kolbeinn Sigthorsson on loan from FC Nantes without an option to buy for 12 months, according to Ouest-France.
The Icelandic attacker joined Les Canaris in the summer of 2015 and had a pretty disastrous maiden season in French football, playing in 30 Ligue 1 matches and netting just three times.
Since then, he went on a totally worthless loan spell to Galatasaray, where he didn’t play a single minute, before undergoing a knee operation with the aim of reintegrating the Nantes 1st team at the end of the 2017/18 campaign.
Claudio Ranieri played the striker twice, but this season he has been training with the reserves after Nantes attempted to force Sigthorsson out during the summer transfer window in a bid to rid of his hefty salary, which is currently costing the club more than €120k per month.
