Newcastle United midfielder Charles N'Zogbia has again spoken of his desire to leave St James' Park this month.

The 22-year-old Frenchman claimed last week that he was being tracked by Aston Villa, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur and that he was desperate to end his four-year spell with the Magpies.

N'Zogbia is under contract in the north-east until 2012, but that has not stopped the former Le Havre youngster from reiterating his desire to move on.

"There have been some changes at Newcastle recently. I have experienced six different managers in four years and it is too much," he told French media.

"Every season is getting worse and worse despite the lofty goals of the club. I therefore decided to leave to try to find better exposure."

Meanwhile, N'Zogbia claims French champions Lyon are the latest club to have shown an interest in signing him.

He added: "They (Lyon) may actually have contacted my agent, but I did not get feedback.

"What is certain is that Lyon is a good club. Whether they really want me remains to be seen."
