Brazil's São Paulo will celebrate 95 years since the club was founded in January, and only now has one of the giants of Latin American football decided to sign a player from Great Britain.
Albeit on loan. Northern Ireland player Jamal Lewis has gone to São Paulo from Newcastle until July 2025, becoming the first Briton in the ranks of a Latin American club. The Premier League club's press office reports that São Paulo hold a buyout option.
Since moving from Norwich to the Forties in September 2020, the 26-year-old left-back has struggled to get game time at his new club and spent last season also on loan, but closer, namely Watford.
‘When I heard about this opportunity I immediately told my agent I wanted to come to Brazil,’ Lewis said. ‘It's a great honour to play for a giant like São Paulo and to become the first British player in the club's history.
