Hull City are interested in Middlesbrough striker Mido.

The Times says Middlesbrough have accepted an undisclosed offer from an unnamed club for Mido, the forward who was fined last week for returning late to pre-season training.

Zamalek, the Egyptian club, claimed that Mido was willing to join them if he received no offers from this country. Hull City have been linked after failing with other deals for forwards. The Egypt player has scored just six league goals since he moved from Tottenham for £6 million two years ago, since when he has also played on loan for Wigan Athletic.
