Chilean forward Alexis Sánchez, 37, has signed with Major League Soccer club CF Montréal as a designated player, according to sources briefed on the situation. The veteran, who was a free agent after his stint with Sevilla in La Liga, is Chile's all-time leading scorer with 51 goals and holds the national record for appearances with 168 caps. Sánchez has had a storied career at top European clubs including Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Inter Milan, winning league titles with Barcelona and Inter, two Copa America titles with Chile, and two FA Cups with Arsenal. CF Montréal, currently 14th in the Eastern Conference with 16 points from 18 matches and tied for second-fewest goals in the conference, hopes Sánchez can provide a boost to their playoff push. He joins a list of notable former stars who have played for Montréal, including Didier Drogba and Alessandro Nesta.
