Fee Agreed for Mido

Boro today revealed that they have had a fee agreed by Tottenham for their Egyptian striker Mido.
Mido has fallen out of favour at Spurs after the arrival of Dimitar Berbatov, last season, and Darren Bent, this summer, along with Robbie Keane and Jermaine Defoe already at the club and Tottenham have allowed him to spend today in Teesside to tour the Boro training complex and to undergo a medical.
Boss, Gareth Southgate, was hit by a startling eye-opener on Saturday after Boro crashed to a 2-1 defeat at home to Blackburn despite taking a 1-0 lead into the break and despite also fielding new boys Tuncay and Aliadiere along with last season's top scorer, Yakubu Aiyegbeni. Having sold James Morrison to West Brom, for 1.5 million, Southgate has been left with absolutely no one to cover the right wing except new striker Tuncay who can also play in that position leaving just Yakubu as a proven Boro goalscorer up front with Lee Dong Gook and Jeremie Aliadiere still to score for the Boro, the former of whom has not scored since signing for Boro last January.
It has been suggested that a fee of around £6 million has been agreed for the Egyptian forward who was a hit with Spurs fans upon his arrival on loan from Roma 2 seasons ago, scoring on his debut, but has since withered away leading to a less than outstanding record. Gareth Southgate is hopeful that everything will go off without a hitch and that he can secure his 5th signing of the summer within the next 36 hours "We've agreed a fee with Tottenham and that's enabled us to have Mido up to see us and he's currently in the process of having a medical, all the talks have been very positive and I don't see the medical being too much of a problem for him."
