Mido closing in on Barnsley deal

Egypt international Mido is on the verge of completing a move to Barnsley from Zamalek.

The well-travelled former Tottenham and Middlesbrough striker is close to ending a third spell with his boyhood club, where he has fallen out of favour following a wage dispute.

And Press Association Sport understands the 29-year-old will undergo a medical at Oakwell on Thursday afternoon, with Barnsley hopeful of confirming their second signing of a productive week later in the day.
