Newcastle United boss Sam Allardyce is delighted Charles N'Zogbia signed his new contract yesterday.
"There were a few issues which will remain private and confidential last season, but all we wanted to do was get Charlie concentrating on and enjoying his football again. He was a bit unsettled when I arrived, but I've been very impressed with his performances on the pitch and his attitude. He has worked very hard, as well as being one of biggest pluses in the first few games of the season.
"He didn't figure much last season and he also picked up an injury. He was frustrated and maybe he was a bit disillusioned at the club, but with a new regime he has blossomed really. He is a young man with a lot of talent and we hope he will be a big player for us this season and in the future."
