NYCFC may have found its goal-scoring answer in Croatia

Is Heber New York City FC’s goal-scoring savior?

After the club decided to start its season without a natural forward, and since has endured an early-season scoring drought, HNK Rijeka forward Heber Araujo dos Santos is indeed a target and is taking a medical in Manchester ahead of a possible transfer, according to sources.

HNK Rijeka, a Croatian club, confirmed to The Post that Heber had left Rijeka on Monday for a medical in Manchester. It was first reported by outlet Novi List.

The details of the transfer remain unknown, but Heber is expected to be acquired using targeted allocation money.
