Newcastle United striker Chris Wood believes transfer target Garang Kuol must be a top talent if the Magpies are looking to bring him to Tyneside in the near future. The youngster, 18, has flourished in his native Australia and made his international debut against Wood's New Zealand at the weekend.
Newcastle are close to securing a deal for Kuol which will see him leave Central Coast Mariners before going out on loan in order to gain a work permit. The teenage sensation is the talk of the Australian footballing world and Wood believes he must fit the bill if the Eddie Howe's side are keen.
“I haven’t seen him play, but I’ve heard a lot about him over the week or two, with the link,” Wood told the Sydney Morning Herald. “I’m sure he’s a very exciting talent if a club like us are looking at him, especially with where the club’s going to go in the next few years.”
