Mido: 'Heskey will leave soon'
-
Middlesbrough striker Mido has claimed Wigan striker Emile Heskey will ‘leave soon’ amid reports that Tottenham are set to swoop.
Gareth Southgate has repeatedly said he has no interest in selling Mido, but the Egypt international has admitted he is tempted by the offer of first-team football at the JJB Stadium.
And, amid reports Tottenham are looking to boost their striking options with a move for Heskey, Mido has announced that Wigan boss Steve Bruce is set to allow Heskey to leave the club.
“Boro want to keep me,” Mido told The People.
“But the transfer market is still open and Steve Bruce wants me to replace Emile Heskey, who will leave soon.”
