Hearts are desperate to take teenage striker Garang Kuol to Tynecastle on a loan deal this month, with the Aussie star having previously earned rave reviews from none other than Barcelona legend and current manager, Xavi.
The teenager only sealed his switch from Central Coast Mariners to Newcastle United in the English Premier League last week, but the Magpies are looking to send him out on loan immediately, with Robbie Neilson's Hearts one of the leading contenders to take him on a temporary deal. Kuol has been snapped touring the Oriam training complex, with the Jambos trying to convince the striker to head to Scottish Premiership on loan this month.
The 18-year old, who became Australia's youngest ever player to feature at a World Cup when he came on as a late substitute against the reigning champions France in November, has enjoyed a rapid rise to the top in his homeland, which earned him a move to Premier League giants Newcastle.
