That would come as a blow to manager Roberto Martinez who has said he would love to keep hold of his star names ahead of the new Barclays Premier League season.N'Zogbia, 25, has been linked with a move away from the DW Stadium with the likes of Aston Villa and Liverpool potential suitors.Martinez maintained only on Friday that the French star, along with reported Arsenal target Hugo Rodallega, would not be sold.However Whelan said: "We have to sell Charles N'Zogbia because he's on the last year of his contract."We can't keep him if a big club comes for him and he does deserve a big club because he's that kind of quality player."The France international could walk away from Wigan for nothing next summer and could also receive a much bigger wage if he were to move on.And Whelan admitted keeping hold of the former Newcastle United man would be hard.He added: "We would love to keep him and pay him what he wants to stay with us but it's a very difficult situation."He's such a great player and we are such a small club sometimes we don't go together."
