Among youngest World Cup debutants
“Garang has to play for his development, that’s the priority. We’re working on finding a solution, at a very good level and with a good club and a good coach,” said Newcastle coach Eddie Howe at the beginning of the year on the situation of the offensive talent Garang Kuol, who was signed on January 1 (read the article ). Now, according to media reports, a buyer seems to have been found – namely in the Scottish Premiership.

The newspapers, for example, report “The Scotsman” and “Edinburgh Evening News“ as well as transfer expert Fabrizio Romano agreed that the 18-year-old will join Heart of Midlothian FC on loan until the end of the season. According to this, the Australian national player, who made it into the top 10 of the youngest debutants in tournament history during the World Cup in Qatar, was already on the club premises of the Scottish club last week and got an idea of the place. Despite other rumored offers from England and Europe, the player then agreed to a change.
According to The Scotsman, one reason why Kuol decided to move to Scotland was the presence of several teammates from the “Socceroos” circle there. The two defenders Kye Rowles and Nathaniel Atkinson as well as midfielder Cammy Devlin are currently in the service of the “Hearts”. An official confirmation from the two clubs is reportedly expected in the coming days.
Kuol had attracted the interest of several well-known clubs before his commitment to Newcastle, including VfB Stuttgart, where his brother Alou (21) is under contract, and Borussia Dortmund are said to have been interested in the youngster.
