Spurs secure deal for 23-year-old striker Mido

Tottenham have agreed a deal to bring Mido back to the club on a permanent deal from Roma.

The 23-year-old striker was at White Hart Lane last season on loan and scored 11 goals before returning to the Italian club.

Spurs boss Martin Jol had been attempting to bring the Egypt international back after his departure, and has now has Mido back to bolster an attacking line-up at White Hart Lane including Dimitar Berbatov, Jermain Defoe and Robbie
Keane.

Jol said: "We've been tracking Mido since his loan ended and we were always keen to bring him back. Roma took some persuading and I'm delighted to have him in the squad.

"He knows I like him as a player, his strength in the air and his mentality. It's an excellent addition to the squad and our striking options are now complete."

The striker said: "I'm very happy to be back. It was, and it always will be a great honour for me to play for Tottenham.

"I always knew in my heart I would be coming back. It is a fantastic move for me, I have some good friends here and it will be good to be back with the lads.

"I saw them training today and I'm looking forward to working with Martin and Chris (Hughton) again. I can't wait to pull on a Tottenham shirt, to play at the Lane and score
some goals."
