Mido to join Black Cats!

Egyptian striker Mido will sign for the "Black Cats" for a fee worth £6m. The DailyMirror claimed that the deal will be completed within the next 24 hours.

Mido couldn't agree terms with Birmingham City because of some clauses in his contract and returned to Spurs to train with the club till another offer appears in the horizon.

The Daily Mirror caimed this noon that Suderland offered Spurs a record bid of £6m for the Egyptian and the Black Cats agreed to pay Mido £40.000 a week.

According to these reports, the Egyptian will be transferred permanently to Sunderland and Ironically, he will face Tottenham in the first week of the English Premiership!.

It should be noted that Sunderland manager is the former Manchester United defensive midfielder Roy Keane and the latter has already spent £5 million on a striker this summer in Michael Chopra, who arrived from Cardiff City.

Mido is expected to start together with Chopra in attack and the Egyptian will not find it hard to get in the starting eleven because of the lack of quality forwards in his new side.
