Silva, 28, arrived on a free transfer from Club Atletico Lanus of Argentina. Montreal used targeted allocation money to sign the attacking midfielder to a three-year contract, which avoided using their one remaining designated player slot after midfielders Ignacio Piatti and Saphir Taider. MONTREAL—The Montreal Impact boosted their attack with the acquisition of Uruguayan midfielder Alejandro Silva on Monday and are expected to make at least one more signing soon. “His versatility on the field is very positive in that he can also play as a central midfielder. Silva is expected to see his first action when Montreal resumes play on March 31 in Seattle after this week’s international break.
