Newcastle United fullback Lewis honored by move to Sao Paulo

Football fans are always eager to see talented players from Brazil make the move to Europe in pursuit of establishing their legacy on the international stage.

Lewis is taking the opposite journey, with the Northern Ireland international going to Sao Paulo on loan from Newcastle United.

"When I heard about this opportunity, I immediately told my agent that I wanted to come to Brazil," he stated. 

"It’s an honor to play for a giant like São Paulo and to be the first British player in the club’s history.

"I’m really excited to play for a club that has won three World Cups. It’s an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. I’m looking forward to meeting the fans and contributing to the team."
