Last week, Goal.com reported the New York Cosmos interest in American international striker and current Puebla loanee, Herculez Gomez.

EoS followed up with that report, chatting with Cosmos head coach Giovanni Savarese on his weekly conference call.

“There is something to it,” Savarese said of the Gomez link. “He is a player that I think would be interested. I think any team would be interested [in him].”

Gomez, 33, has been a consistent performer since moving to Liga MX back in 2010. However, a glut at striker has made him surplus goods at Tijuana, forcing Gomez into loan spells with Tigres and Puebla over the past two seasons.

The Cosmos are not in desperate need for a striker. Lucky Mkosana has been a revelation up top, with Raul cushioning his speedy Zimbabwean partner. The club also counts Mads Stokkelien and Haji Wright in their forward corps.

Gomez, however, adds a different dimension to the club, with both domestic and international experience that can serve the team’s current needs, expanding the quality and depth on their attack.

“He has good quality, he doesn’t count as a foreigner, he is a player that has played on two national leagues, he has experience playing in Mexico, so I am sure any team in the U.S. would be interested in a player of his qualities,” Savarese said. “[If] it is something that could come to fruition, we are one of the clubs that would be interested in that possibility.”

Gomez isn’t the only target on the Cosmos transfer list. According to Savarese, the club is seeking “2-3” players this window to help reinforce his side.

“We are conversing with some interesting players,” he said. “We have a nice list and we will try to make some decisions to see if talks with these players can work.

“We are actively talking to some people during this window, more focused in the middle and up top.”
