Newcastle sign very promising 18-year-old tipped for big future

Newcastle United have signed Australian talent Garang Kuol on a permanent deal from Central Coast Mariners. 

The 18-year-old will remain at the Australian club on loan until January but is tipped to have a big future at Newcastle in the seasons to follow.

According to Sky Sport’s Keith Downie, the signing of Kuol is part of the Magpies’ plan to scout the global transfer market to try and sign some of the best young players in the world and there will certainly be more to follow under the club’s new ownership.

The Premier League club were one of many clubs interested in acquiring the teenage striker’s services, which includes Borussia Dortmund, a club notorious for identifying some of the world’s best young talent.
