Newcastle United manager Joe Kinnear has refuted claims by Charles N'Zogbia's agent that the player is set for a transfer to Arsenal. N'Zogbia has repeatedly been linked to Arsenal predominately by the French Press who have quoted his agent on several occasions. This time Joe Kinnear has hit back claiming to have spoken to Wenger about the 22 year old.
He said;
"I have spoken to Arsene Wenger and he said he's not interested in any of my players, so I don't know where the agent is coming from.
We are looking into it. If it is true, then the agent is being disrespectful. He's never had the decency to explain anything to any member of this football club.
It's laughable, to be honest. It's absolute nonsense.
Charles is under contract until 2012, and I told him on day one that he was a very important player. He's been in the team, and has done very well. He's 60-40 to play tomorrow - and I hope he does.''
