Ex-Prem ace heads to Tykes

It is understood that former Tottenham striker Mido is set to complete his move to Championship outfit Barnsley, subject to a medical.

The Egyptian forward became a free agent earlier this year when his contract at Zamalek was not renewed. It was revealed earlier this week that the South Yorkshire side had approached Mido about a possible move to Oakwell and the player and club have now agreed personal terms. The 29-year-old was first introduced to the English game by Premier League outfit Tottenham, before moving north to join Middlesbrough. During his two-year stay in the top-flight with Spurs, Mido bagged 20 goals in 63 appearances. The deal is expect to be completed early next week with the striker scheduled to undergo a medical with the Tykes on Monday.
