Reports in Egypt suggested that Mido was
on his way to Pompey, but the club are yet to make clear
which strikers they are going for in the market.
Harry Redknapp had admitted interest in Jermain Defoe
and Fredi Kanoute but it is not certain whether a move
has been made for them. David Nugent, of Preston North
End, who scored for England in his only cap, is in talks
with Pompey at this very moment (Monday).
The club policy does not allow them to confirm or deny
interest in any players. In a statement to EgyptianPlayers.com,
Portsmouth FC said: "We cannot make any announcement
before any transfers take place."
The club reporter for newspaper Portsmouth Today did
tell EP that interest in Mido would not come as a surprise,
though the club has not mentioned the Egyptian at all
up to today.
EP understands that if there is indeed interest in
Mido, it is very far from concrete. Pompey were offered
Mido by Spurs, it seems, and are not actually themselves
going out to buy him.
