TITUS Bramble reckons close friend Charles N’Zogbia is keen on a Sunderland switch.
Having spent the last year talking up the Black Cats to his former team-mate, the Sunderland defender would naturally be delighted if the club can snatch the “fantastic” France international from under the noses of fellow suitors Aston Villa.
