Garang Coure was reportedly spotted attending Newcastle United’s first-team training last night against Brentford in the Carabao Cup Newcastle World.
While the 20-year-old did not feature in the game, his involvement in preparations marked a promising step in his development.
The Magpies defeated Brentford 3-1 to reach the semi-finals of the tournament for the second consecutive year. Sandro Tonali was the star of the night, scoring two superb goals in the first half. The Italian maestro opened the scoring with a thunderous strike from outside the box before doubling Newcastle’s lead with a stunning volley. Fabian Schaal added another in the second half to give Newcastle a comfortable three-goal cushion.
Brentford scored a consolation goal in stoppage time, but it was too little, too late as the Magpies celebrated promotion to the last four. Joining Newcastle in the semi-finals are Premier League heavyweights Liverpool, Arsenal and either Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester United, setting the stage for an exciting semi-final.
Garang Coure continues to develop at Newcastle
Curle’s attendance at training as he continues his journey at Newcastle is notable. The Australian striker signed a four-year contract with the Magpies in January 2023 after moving from Central Coast Mariners for £300,000. Upon arrival, he was loaned to Scottish Premiership side Hearts, where he made limited appearances. Last season, Kuhl was loaned to the Dutch club Volendam and played 17 times in various competitions, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist. Despite plans to loan him out last summer, injuries kept him at Newcastle.
While Cool’s path at Newcastle has been challenging, his participation in first-team training ahead of this crucial game shows the club sees potential in the young talent. At only 20 years old, he has time to establish himself and strive for more opportunities in the future.
For Newcastle, victory over Brentford marked another step in their quest for trophies. After finishing runners-up in the League Cup last season and losing to Manchester United in the final, Eddie Howe’s team will be determined to go all the way this time. With current form and a squad packed with talent, Newcastle are as strong a contender as any to lift the trophy, but they will face stiff competition from the semi-finalists.
With the Magpies closing in on a second successive Carabao Cup final, fans will be hoping rising stars like Curl can contribute to another memorable season for the club.
