Legendary Kaizer Chiefs winger Arthur Zwane has recalled how he almost joined Premier League side Newcastle United just before he went to sign for Santos in Brazil.
Zwane revealed he spent three months at Newcastle United but he wasn't signed because he had no senior national teams caps at the time.
According to the 46-year-old Amakhosi's MDC team coach, part of the deal with the Magpies was that he would be sent to Ireland on loan so that he could acquire a British passport which would have allowed him to play in the Premier League.
