We’ve been covering the interesting story developing in France of Charles N’Zogbia potentially signing for Nantes, and it looks like there’s another setback.

Originally, the player asked for a bit of time to decide whether or not the move to the Ligue 1 side was the right one for him after being released from Aston Villa.

Coming to the conclusion that it was, the 30-year-old trained with his new side ahead of signing a contract on Monday, but L’Equipe are reporting a late medical checkup has revealed something potentially serious.

The French newspaper report the club have found a small problem with the player’s heart, and current tests are being undertaken to determine whether or not the forward will be able to continue to play football at the highest level.

An answer to that question is expected at the latest on Wednesday evening, meaning the former Villain will have to wait a bit longer before, hopefully for him, taking another new step in his already rather long career.
