Jamal Lewis calls loan switch from Newcastle to Sao Paulo a ‘no-brainer’

Jamal Lewis admitted his loan switch from Newcastle to Sao Paulo might have caught a lot of people by surprise but has called the move a “no-brainer”.

Lewis, 26, this week joined the Brazilian giants on a deal that runs until the end of their season in December, but hopes it can be the start of a new adventure after a frustrating period at St James’ Park where he has struggled for regular playing time, heading to Watford on loan last term.

“There was always going to be interest and offers, but this one, once I heard it, it was a no-brainer,” the Northern Ireland left-back said.
