Dwight Yorke has lavished praise on Newcastle United wonderkid Garang Kuol, with the Manchester United legend unable to contain his excitement about the 'magical' Socceroos young gun.
Macarthur FC boss Yorke played a small part in Kuol's sensational arrival in senior football, giving him a cameo against Barcelona for the A-League All Stars, which he grasped with both hands.
His exceptional performance helped convince Premier League outfit Newcastle to shell out just under £300,000 (AU$515,000) on the 18-year-old, and Yorke is convinced the teenager will go to the very top.

'I first came across him in the All Star game against Barcelona ... and in terms of his football intelligence I thought 'wow', and obviously he was sensational in that game when he came of the bench,' Yorke told Wide World of Sports.
'I thought nothing of him until I actually saw him close up and his rise has been notable, and he's been tremendous to that point.'
Kuol bagged two goals for Central
