Newcastle sponsors Sela are planning to create a unique kit for the Magpies to wear in their match against Tottenham.

The Saudi Arabia-based events company will donate the space on the front of Newcastle's kit shirt to a charity, which will be named closer to the clash on Saturday, April 13.

That is according to daily mailwho also report that discussions on the measure have been taking place for several weeks.

Sela is said to be keen to give his chosen charity as much publicity as possible, and the televised clash against Spurs, who are also fighting for a European place, was chosen with this in mind.

Since signing a £25million-a-season deal with the Magies last year, Sela has wanted his association with the club to be about the fans.
