Newcastle United new boy Garang Kuol has been told he's 'in contention' for a spot at the Qatar World Cup later this year. Australia coach Graham Arnold admits that the young striker still has a lot to learn in order to reach to the top.
Kuol penned a four-year deal with the Magpies after impressing for Central Coast Mariners last year. He scored four goals in seven appearances - including one seven minutes into his debut for the club - attracting interest from the likes of Celtic, Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund.
New laws regarding work permits in the UK mean the youngster will head out on loan in Europe after making the move to Tyneside official in January. The Magpies have reportedly beaten off a number of top European clubs for his signature and Arnold thinks it's a great opportunity for Kuol.
