"It's a loan deal of the duration of one year, with a purchasing option, and I hope that OM agrees on finalising the transfer."He was quoted in an interview with Egyptainplayers.com saying
"I am ecstatic about it, It was a dream to play in The Premiership and it's only a matter of time now before realising that dream.”Its common knowledge that Sir Bobby Robson is keen to revitalise his youthful Newcastle Squad and is also looking for a replacement for Super Striker Alan Shearer come the end of next season.Mido who has had a bad season at Marseille is also keen to impress believing that he can show his worth in the Premier League."I am really excited about the whole thing and I want everybody to know that I will strive to prove my worth in the upcoming season.”Commenting on playing alongside Alan Shearer, Mido said
"Shearer is a great striker.”"I saw him when Newcastle played against OM in this year's Uefa Cup campaign and he was just superb, a true leader on all levels.”"If the move is finalised I will consider myself very fortunate to play alongside him, I am sure I will learn a lot from one of the best ever."
Mido who is a former Ajax player has been watched for a long time by Sir Bobby Robson who will be hoping the Egyptian can bring something new to his squad.
