Newcastle United's watchful eye over Garang Kuol at Hearts and mentality that will please Eddie Howe

Garang Kuol says Newcastle United have been keeping a watchful eye on his progress at Scottish Premiership side Hearts. The Jam Tarts are third in the division and hoping to secure European football next season, but Kuol has been limited to just five appearances - four of those off the bench..

Nonetheless, the Australian international isn't letting his lack of game time get him down and he's showcasing a resolute mentality as he hopes to force his way into Robbie Nielson's side. Speaking to Edinburgh Evening News, Kuol said: "Yeah, 100 per cent. It’s up to me and what I do in training. I’m going to keep working hard in training to put pressure on the gaffer.

"The aim is to get a start, try to start well and then keep starting. The manager has told me to work hard every day to put pressure on him and the other strikers in my position.”
