Charles N'Zogbia has put Marseille on alert by admitting he would consider a move back to France. [LNB]Wigan boss Roberto Martinez insists the France international will stay at the DW Stadium for the rest of the season after winning a tug of war for his services in the summer. [LNB]But Birmingham and Sunderland could revive interest in the left winger when the January transfer window opens and N'Zogbia has refused to rule out a return to his homeland. [LNB] Options open: N'Zogbia will not rule out making a move back to France[LNB]'Coming back to France? I don't know, it could be an interesting challenge,' he said. [LNB]'On a professional level I have never experienced the football in France because I left (for Newcastle) when I was 18. [LNB]'Let's say the door is half open. But for now there has been no formal contact from any French club.' [LNB]French champions Marseille were keen in the summer and are considering reinforcements as they chase Lille, who have a three-point lead and a game in hand over last season's kings.[LNB] Birmingham had an £8million bid knocked back in the summer as Wigan held out for £10m, while former Latics boss Steve Bruce could be tempted to make way for him at Sunderland. [LNB]But Martinez says there is no pressure to sell, insisting: 'He (N'Zogbia) is enjoying his football. We have not had an approach, there are no issues, and the chairman is very clear about it.' [LNB]However, the 24-year-old's value could plummet in the summer, when he will have just 12 months left on his contract.  [LNB] Wolves 1 Wigan 2: Rodallega and Cleverley condemn McCarthy's menWalcott: Beating Chelsea will count for nothing if we lose to WiganWatch all the Premier League goals every week on our brilliant Yahoo video playerWIGAN ATHLETIC FC
