Wigan Athletic willing to sell Newcastle target Charles N'Zogbia for £9million - report

. Wigan Athletic owner Dave Whelan is reportedly willing to sell star winger Charles N'Zogbia if a bid in the region of £9million is tabled by a Champions League team.

Whelan rejected a last minute £11m bid from Newcastle United in January but now that Premier League safety has been secured the owner is reportedly willing to cash in on his prize asset.

The Daily Mirror has reported that manager Roberto Martinez and Dave Whelan are willing to let the winger go to a Champions League team.

However it is thought that the pair will fight much harder to keep hold of the Frenchman if a team from the lower end of the Premier League comes in with a bid for him.

North east pair Sunderland and Newcastle are reportedly interested in the winger but may have to negotiate somewhat harder if they wish to prize him away from Wigan.

not worth 9 let alone the 11 we reportedly offered

today nzogbia has told wigan he wants to leave. we might still get him.
