Newcastle United sporting director Dan Ashworth has reportedly decided to send Garang Kuol out on loan again next season.
The highly-rated 18-year-old looks a terrific prospect for the future, but it seems he’s not yet quite ready to become part of Eddie Howe’s first-team plans.
Currently on loan at Hearts, Kuol has not made a huge impact, so it perhaps makes sense to try for another loan spell to get the best out of the Australia international next season.
The Athletic claim that NUFC chief Ashworth has been key to this decision, and it seems like the right move for all involved.
It remains to be seen where Kuol might end up next, but Newcastle fans will hope it can prove a good experience for him and perhaps set him up for the 2024/25 campaign at St James’ Park.
I would be surprised if that loan would be to Hearts as the point of a loan is to get more experience and at Hearts he has rarely featured but who knows.
The reason he hasn’t featured is he is miles away from being a first team player. He is at Hearts mainly because he has Aussie m8’s to help him settle
I’m Hearts and watched him. Looks a bit raw to be honest. Think one of the comments that he only went to us because his Aussie team mates were there is a good point. Not good enough for a start at Hearts, could struggle at Newcastle.
He would improve and learn fast at a championship team. Hopefully he would also get more time on the pitch.
