Chinese international Zheng Zhi has revealed Premiership
outfits Newcastle and Birmingham City are interested in his
services.
The Shandong Luneng star enjoyed a successful loan spell with
Charlton Athletic last season and is keen for a move back to
England.
Speaking to reporters in Kuala Lumpur last week, the 26 year-old
named Newcastle and Birmingham as the two clubs which were ready to
offer him a new loan deal.
"At present, two English teams are keen on signing me. They are
Newcastle United and Birmingham City," he said.
"Newcastle are a big club, so it is exciting if I could play for
them."
Carson Yeung, the Hong Kong businessman who recently became
Birmingham's biggest shareholder, is believed to be pushing for a
deal to bring the Chinese international to St Andrews.
