Newcastle United boss Joe Kinnear has revealed Arsene Wenger has ruled out taking Charles N'Zogbia to Arsenal.

"I've spoken to Arsene Wenger and he said he's not interested in any of my players, so I don't know where the agent's coming from," Kinnear told the Evening Chronicle.

"We're looking into it. If it is true, then the agent's 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."
