Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish has confirmed he expects to finalise the signing of Charles N'Zogbia from Wigan next week.

The French winger is due to fly back from a holiday to undergo a medical on Friday after Villa and Wigan reached agreement over a compromise £9.5million deal.

Villa do not anticipate any problems in that department with the 25-year-old poised to put pen-to-paper on a five-year contract after the weekend.

The Midlands outfit are currently in the Far East preparing for their Asia Trophy final against Chelsea in Hong Kong and McLeish expects things to be finalised upon their return.

The former Birmingham City boss commented: "We're arranging a medical for Charles and, pending that, he should be a Villa player next week."

N'Zogbia will become Villa's second signing of the summer after keeper Shay Given moved from Manchester City in a £3.5million deal.

He will provide service for striker Darren Bent to thrive on after the sale of Ashley Young and Stewart Downing to Manchester United and Liverpool respectively.

Villa medical for N'Zogbia
Wigan winger closes in on move to Midlands

Last Updated: July 29, 2011 8:21am



Charles N'Zogbia is to undergo a medical at Aston Villa on Friday ahead of his proposed move from Wigan.

The clubs agreed a fee of £9.5million for the Frenchman earlier this week after months of speculation about his future.

Villa set their sights on the 25-year-old after losing Ashley Young and Stewart Downing earlier in the summer to Manchester United and Liverpool respectively.

N'Zogbia is now set to leave the Latics after two-and-a-half years with the club, having spent time with Newcastle at the start of his career.

He is now firmly established as one of the Premier League's most effective wide men and Alex McLeish announced on Thursday that he expected a deal to be finalised next week.

N'Zogbia has flown in following a holiday to be assessed by the club's doctors at their Bodymoor Heath training complex.

McLeish is currently in Hong Kong with the rest of the Villa squad competing in the Premier League Asia Trophy.

Villa complete signing of N'Zogbia from Wigan



The Club are delighted to confirm that Charles N'Zogbia completed a medical today and has agreed a five-year deal to 2016.

The 25-year-old French international winger formalised his signing this afternoon and he will be available for next Wednesday's fixture against Derby at Pride Park and for our game against Braga on Saturday, August 6 at Estadio Municipal de Braga.

"I am really happy and extremely excited to sign for Aston Villa," said N'Zogbia.

"It is a great club and it is a really big step for me in my career, so I am sure I will enjoy my football here.


"I think it is going to be a really good season and hopefully I'll do well here.

"I can't wait to meet my new team-mates, play with them and work together to do something special this season.

"Alex McLeish is a strong manager and I think he is going to build a really good team for this season."

N'Zogbia has firmly established himself in the Barclays Premier League since making his debut for Newcastle United in September 2004.

The man from Harfleur, in the Normandy region of France, was spotted by the Magpies at the age of 17 whilst playing for Le Havre.

He amassed 118 appearances at Newcastle, operating primarily as a left winger as well as occasionally filling in at left-back.

N'Zogbia moved to Wigan on the last day of the January transfer window in 2009 and was a pivotal figure during his two-and-a-half-year spell with the Latics.

The winger played an integral part in helping Wigan avoid relegation last term with five goals from the final six top-flight games, including a superb strike against Villa in a 1-1 draw at Villa Park in April.

He also finished as the club's top goalscorer, finding the net 10 times in all competitions.

Some terrific displays in the Premier League attracted the attention of France boss Laurent Blanc, who handed N'Zogbia his international debut against Norway in August.

In his second appearance for Les Bleus last month, N'Zogbia scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 friendly victory over Poland.
