Newcastle United's latest teenage target, Garang Kuol, has already received the backing of many in the footballing world - including Barcelona manager Xavi. Reports suggest the Magpies may swoop for Kuol, who turns 18 on Thursday, as Dan Ashworth and the club's scouts continue to scour the globe for top, young talent.
The Central Coast Mariners star has been called up to Australia's national side and is tipped to have a bright future for club and country. Socceroos boss Graham Arnold has hailed Kuol's 'great quality and great talent'.
The teenage striker has already given the world a glimpse of what he is capable of after impressing during the second half of the A-Leagues All Stars’ 3-2 defeat to Barcelona earlier in the summer. Even Nou Camp chief Xavi had to give a special mention to Kuol's performance in the friendly clash.
