Arsene Wenger could bid 6 million GBP for Charles N’Zogbia of Newcastle United in the summer.

The French coach has been assured by his board that funds will be available to boost his squad at the end of the season, and the Newcastle United man is said to have leapt to the top of his wanted list.

“We have always found funds for the manager when he wants funds,” said managing director Keith Edelman. “Arsene is one of the managers who builds his squad very carefully.”

The Magpies would be reluctant to part company with N’Zogbia, yet an offer of £6million could well prove too good for manager Glenn Roeder to turn down.
