Arsenal my preferred destination says Charles N'Zogbia
The 22-year-old has said that both Spurs and Aston Villa have already contacted his representatives as to his availability, but has suggested he is keeping his hopes up that Arsenal could signal their interest during the January transfer window. [LNB]"My agents are talking with Tottenham and Aston Villa," he told L'Equipe. "I'm waiting to see what will happen. [LNB]"From what they have told me, Arsenal could also be in the frame, but there hasn't been a direct approach from them. [LNB]"Personally, I have a little preference for the Gunners but, whatever happens, they are three great and ambitious clubs. It's very flattering to see them interested in me."[LNB]The Frenchman has made no secret of the fact he wants to move on and remains confident Newcastle will grant him his wish of seeking a fresh challenge. [LNB]A move to a Premier League rival appears to be N'Zogbia's most likely route out of St James', but a move back home is also an attractive alternative. [LNB]"I've spoken to my bosses at the club. They know what my aims are and what I want to continue to progress," N'Zogbia said. [LNB]"As soon as a big club knocks on the door with a good offer, I don't think they'll prevent me leaving. [LNB]"A return to France is not unforeseeable. But personally I have always said that my priority is to remain in England. [LNB]"It's a league which I take pleasure from and which suits me well. [LNB]"Anyway, a return to France is not relevant because none of those clubs have contacted me."[LNB]N'Zogbia has spent four years at Newcastle, having joined from Le Havre in 2004, but the player, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or full-back, is hopeful a fresh move would aid his chances of breaking into the France squad. [LNB]"I am 22," he said. "It's an age where I have to be seen, especially with regards to aims that I have targeted for myself. [LNB]"I want to get into the France team as soon as possible and I feel that at Newcastle, that won't be possible."[LNB][LNB]
