Robbie Neilson has addressed Hearts interest in bringing Garang Kuol to Tynecastle - admitting they face a battle to land the wonderkid on loan this month.
Newcastle United have only just landed the talented attacker from Central Coast Mariners and are looking to send him out on loan for the second half of the season to gain vital first team experience Hearts chiefs have been in touch with the big-spending Premier League club to ask about teenage prodigy Kuol’s availability, with the 18-year-old hinting at a move to Gorgie on social media posting snaps of his visit to Edinburgh.
The Newcastle hierarchy are still considering their options although they are open to a move for the new signing to Scotland, the English Championship and a number of European clubs, but Hearts hope a Scottish Premiership reunion could be on the cards with Kye Rowles previously playing alongside Kuol in Australia. However, Neilson admits it could come down to what other clubs are tracking the talent.
