LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Middlesbrough have agreed a fee with Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur to sign Egypt striker Mido, the club said on Tuesday.
Mido was unable to cement a regular place in the Tottenham starting line-up.
"We've agreed a fee with Tottenham that's enabled us to have Mido up to see us and he's currently in the process of having his medical," Middlesbrough said on their Web site.
"Hopefully if everything goes well we'll have some news in the next 36 hours."
Mido, 24, had been set to join Birmingham City in the close season but a six million pounds ($12 million) move fell through.
The African Young Player of the Year for 2002, Mido has played previously for Zamalek, Ghent, Ajax, Celta Vigo, Olympique Marseille and Roma in an itinerant career.
He scored five times in 23 appearances for Tottenham in the 2006/07 season but has fallen down the pecking order at White Hart Lane with the arrival of Darren Bent from Charlton in the summer. E-mail to a friend
