Mido denies Middlesbrough move to Turkey

Middlesbrough striker Mido has denied reports of a move to Turkish club Besiktas. The 25-year-old, Egypt international has insisted he has no plans to seek an exit away from the Premier League.

He told Filgoal: "No one has spoken with me about an offer from Besiktas, and I am not interested in playing in Turkey anyways.

"It surprises me why my name is usually mentioned in Turkish media. Last season they claimed I was going to Fenerbahce as well."

He added: "I am willing to remain in the Premier League. If Boro agreed to sell me to an English club then I will go, otherwise I am staying for now."
