Reds eye N'Zogbia move

Liverpool will look to land Wigan winger Charles N'Zogbia if they fail in their efforts to sign Stewart Downing from Aston Villa.

Villa want to keep hold of their England man but there is uncertainty over the future at Villa Park, with questions marks over Gerard Houllier's position as manager, that may or may not help in Liverpool's efforts to land him and they could instead turn to N'Zogbia.

Wigan face a massive battle to keep hold of the French ace as there is a long list of clubs all willing to offer £7m to land the player if they are relegated, while if they stay up then the Latics will hope to keep him.

Liverpool are joined by Tottenham, Aston Villa, Sunderland and his former club Newcastle along with Italian giants Juventus are also in the race to sing him.
