  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.
