Southampton and Tottenham are battling it out for Roma striker Mido.
The player's agent Christophe Henrotay confirmed both clubs had made enquiries for the Egyptian international.
Both sides are in the market for a new striker with Southampton seeking a replacement for James Beattie and Tottenham boss Martin Jol admitting he would like a fourth striker at the club.
Henrotay revealed both clubs had made enquiries for Mido over a possible loan move and that a move could happen if Roma decide to let him go.
"Yeah there are some possibilities with Mido, but at the moment it is very complicated because Roma paid a lot of money for Mido and he has not played a lot," Henrotay told skysports.com.
"We are looking for a loan and it is true that Southampton are looking for some solution.
"I have spoken to the chairman Rupert Lowe and he knows the player and he tried to bring him to the club before."
"Tottenham are also keen and (sporting director) Frank Arnesen knows all about Mido from his time in Holland.
"Mido wants to be playing football and he would go to a club where he will be playing."
Mido 的经纪人 Christophe Henrotay 证实,Southampton 和 Tottenham 已经向 Roma 询问租借 Mido 的可能性。他已经分别同 Southampton 的主席 Rupert Lowe 及 Tottenham 的体育总监 Frank Arnesen 谈过,Southampton 想要 Beatie 的替代者而 Tottenham 想要一名第四前锋。球员想要打比赛,为此可能会选择转会。
