Garang Kuol’s current teammate Jason Cummings expects the wonderkid to realise his potential on Tyneside. Newcastle United will complete a move for the 18-year-old in January before loaning him back to his current club Central Coast Mariners.
The Magpies stumped up around £300,000 to sign the highly-rated youngster, fending off interest from La Liga giants Barcelona. It did not take long for Kuol to endear himself to his new fanbase, either, as he was snapped posing for pictures with away supporters during last weekend’s 4-1 win against Fulham.
Fans are excited about his potential as Dan Ashworth continues to bolster Newcastle’s academy ranks. Kuol is the fifth youth player to arrive at the club since the sporting director’s appointment in June.
