Wigan boss Martinez prepared to sell N'Zogbia - for right price

Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is willing to sell winger Charles N'Zogbia this summer.

N'Zogbia has impressed during a difficult season for Wigan having moved to the North West outfit from Newcastle in last year's winter transfer window.

Spaniard Martinez is not willing to entertain offers from all their top-flight rivals, but accepts the talented Frenchman would be tempted by a move to one of the Premier League's leading lights.

He told the Daily Mirror: "If they pay what we want and the chairman says we can reinvest that money, I would be prepared to let Charles N'Zogbia go.

"You can't really stop him going to a big club. Let's say Birmingham come in, we don't have to sell him.

"But if Manchester United come in, how are you going to stop him?

"Unless he goes to a top-six team in the Premier League he will not be in a side that plays the same way as we do."
