Wigan star threatens strike action

According to reports, Charles N'Zogbia will go on strike to force Wigan to let him leave the club. Aston Villa have been linked with the French midfielder, in a 9m GBP move.

It is understood that the Villains have already made a 9m GBP offer for the Wigan player, but his club have rejected that bid and are looking for closer to 12m GBP.

Now N'Zogbia is furious with Wigan executives who he believes are forcing him to stay at the club.

Villa are desperate to sign the Frenchman to replace Stewart Downing who joined Liverpool last week.
