Portsmouth move for Mido

Video Safari

Portsmouth have moved for Roma striker Mido.

Boss Harry Redknapp is still desperate to sign a forward before next week's transfer deadline having missed out on Obafemi Martins.
And he has turned his attentions to Mido after Tottenham and Blackburn failed with bids.
Spurs had hoped to capture Mido on a permanent deal after the hitman spent 18 months on loan at White Hart Lane.
But they would not cough up the cash demanded by his Italian club - £5 million.
And although Blackburn manager Mark Hughes agreed a fee with Roma, Mido snubbed a move to Ewood Park.
