Jamal Lewis: Newcastle United defender set for surprise move to Sao Paulo

Newcastle United left-back Jamal Lewis is set to make a surprise move to Brazilian giants Sao Paulo.

The 26-year-old, who joined the Magpies from Norwich in a £15million move in 2020, is said to be in Brazil to complete his transfer.

Although neither club has confirmed the transfer yet, Northern Ireland manager Michael O’Neill revealed that the move was in the works.

“Jamal plans to join us later this week after completing his visa requirements and medical checks in Brazil,” O’Neill said, confirming that Lewis would report late for Northern Ireland’s upcoming Nations League games against Luxembourg and Bulgaria.

“We wish him the best of luck with his new move to Sao Paulo.”
