Newcastle United boss Kevin Keegan insists there was no chance of Charles N'Zogbia joining Tottenham last month.

"There was never any contact from Spurs to us and this is something that the papers have driven," Keegan told the club's official website.

"We did have enquiries about three of our players but they were three different players and not Charles.

"He's a talented player and I think the fans like him here.

"He's the sort of player who can turn football matches and his focus has been excellent."
