Highlights
The 18-year-old was born in Egypt in 2004 after his family fled Sudan.
But he did not stay there long as the Kuol family moved to Australia a year later as refugees.
His father, Mavian, and mother, Antonita, worked as dry cleaners to support their family, while Antonita also worked in a fruit factory.
But they found a supportive community in Shepparton, Victoria, which has played a big part in getting Kuol to this point.
Antonita told ABC that neighbors and community members used to take Kuol and her brother Alou, who plays for Stuttgart, to games while she tried to obtain her driver’s license.
And the community even helped pay for Kuol and his brother’s trip to Japan for a football tournament as they continued to pursue their dream. $8,000 was needed. Kuol’s parents had $4,000, but the community rallied and brought the money.
Salary
Meanwhile, in career mode, the listed price for Garang Kuol is a very attractive £667,000, with Central Coat Mariners wages just £430. He would make a very streamlined addition to a career mode squad, especially if you plan on playing for a few seasons so you can develop him.
Fifa 23
Garang Kuol has an overall rating of 59 in FIFA 23, so he probably won’t play directly in the starting line-up of any serious team.
However, it’s worth noting that Garang Kuol has a potential rating of 82, which means you can develop him into a very strong prospect if you do the legwork.
Although his crossing is currently only 57, while his short passing is 52 and his finishing is 63, it is in the speed/pace statistics that Garang Kuol really shines: he already has 83 acceleration and 83 sprint speed, Which means he can take it down the line for you even though his footwork needs improvement.
Transfer fee
Some reports require the Mariners to collect a transfer fee of $500,000, allowing Kuol to be loaned to a club in Portugal if he is initially unable to secure a UK work permit.
