'Reminds me of Mbappe' - Newcastle have landed 'bargain' talent tipped to shine at World Cup

Newcastle Garang Kuol World Cup Kylian Mbappe Newcastle United Kieran Trippier ALeague Australia EPL

When France and Australia do battle on Tuesday evening, most of the world's eyes will fall on PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe. However, Newcastle United may have the second coming of the Frenchman in their ranks already - in the form of Garang Kuol.

The Australian, 18, enjoyed a meteoric rise in 2022 as he earned a move from Central Coast Mariners to the Magpies in September. Kuol is yet to start to a single game for the A-League outfit but earned a Socceroos call-up for the World Cup and is tipped to make an impact for his country at the tournament.

Kuol officially joins Newcastle in January but could be shipped straight out on loan, meaning fans in the north east will have to wait to see him in action in black and white. One man who has seen first-hand how lethal the youngster can be is his former coach Craig Carley.
