Fiorentina have expressed interest in Newcastle United midfielder Charles N'Zogbia.

The young Frenchman has played his way back into Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce's plans in the past week, but Fiorentina remain keen on taking him to Italy.

N'Zogbia is contracted to Toon until 2009 and along with Fiorentina is also attracting interest from Premiership rivals Aston Villa, Bolton Wanderers and Fulham.
