'He had offers' - Eddie Howe details first Garang Kuol meeting as work permit boost emerges

Eddie Howe admits Garang Kuol had various other offers on the table before signing for Newcastle United on Friday. The Australian sensation, 18, will stay with Central Coast Mariners before officially joining the Magpies in January 2023.

Kuol has only been on the scene a short amount of time but wasted no time catching the eye of the footballing world with his impressive performances Down Under. His cameo appearance against Barcelona in the summer certainly put the teenager on the map.

Howe admits he met with Kuol earlier this week and is confident the new addition can have a bright future at Newcastle after opting to sign for the north east outfit over other interested parties.
