Hearts loanee Garang Kuol has revealed he was advised by Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe to 'go wherever you'll play the most'. The Magpies' move for the former A-League wonderkid was made official earlier this month, and the teenager was the subject of loan interest from several clubs.
Kuol was a wildcard pick in Australia's World Cup squad, and made two substitute appearances as the Socceroos were knocked out by eventual winners Argentina. The 18-year-old was then pictured alongside loans coordinator Shola Ameobi for talks at Tynecastle, before ultimately opting to make a switch to Hearts until the end of the season.
Kuol made his Scottish Premiership debut as a second-half substitute in Hearts' narrow home win over St Mirren on Friday night, with Barrie McKay scoring the only goal of the game. The loanee has now discussed the talks with Howe and Robbie Neilson which led to him agreeing to the short-term switch.
