Newcastle have agreed a deal to sign 18-year-old Garang Kuol from Central Coast Mariners, with the Australian forward joining the club in January.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s unreal. As a young boy in Australia, the Premier League is the main thing that everyone watches but nobody actually thinks they’ll reach those heights,” said Kuol. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“To be one of those people, to be in the position I am, it’s amazing.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Newcastle <\/span>reportedly paid an initial \u00a3300,000<\/span>external-link<\/title><\/svg><\/span><\/a> before add-on clauses.<\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s very sharp, agile, quick, a good finisher,” said Newcastle manager Eddie Howe. <\/span><\/p>\n

“He’s got a lot of very positive ingredients. That is going to be nurtured and developed in the next couple of years to get him at the right level for the Premier League. <\/span><\/p>\n

“I met him for the first time in person yesterday. That was a very good conversation. He is a very confident, independent lad who has got high motivation.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Kuol earned his first Australia cap last week becoming the youngest player to represent his country since former Leeds and Liverpool Harry Kewell in 1996. <\/span><\/p>\n

Kuol, who only signed his first professional deal in June, has emerged as a late bolter for the Socceroos’ Qatar 2022 squad after four goals in his seven substitute appearances for the Mariners.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also impressed in a cameo in a post-season friendly against Barcelona, earning praise from opposition manager Xavi.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Now that I’ve signed for Newcastle, I want to train hard, play hard, hopefully go to the World Cup and come back here,” Kuol added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Egypt, Kuol and his family arrived in the country as refugees from South Sudan. His elder brother Alou moved from the Mariners to German side Stuttgart in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n
