West Ham striker Mido robustly refuted speculation that he might join Egyptian champions Ahli in the summer after a short loan spell at Upton Park. The towering player moved to the Hummers in the winter from Middlesbrough on a four-month deal, and his next destination is yet to be known. In a lengthy report, English tabloid Daily Mail conjectured that Mido would either return to the Riverside or join Ahli in the close season after spending a 'poor spell' with West Ham. But the former Zamalek prodigy stressed that a move to Ahli is a far-fetched idea. "Moving to Ahli at any point in the future is so unlikely for me," Mido told FilGoal.com over the phone from England. "I could join any club on the globe, but not Ahli. "I came through Zamalek's youth ranks and I simply cannot play for their arch-rivals. "Professionally there is nothing wrong with moving from one club to another, but I can't put on the red jersey." Daily Mail Attack The Zamalek stalwart pounded away at Daily Mail for fueling speculation over his future.
Mido wasn't up to scratch with Zamalek "This paper has absolutely no credibility in England," Mido said. "I have always been maligned by Daily Mail even when I used to play at Tottenham Hotspur, although I was doing great back then. "This is because they (the newspaper) don't like Arabs, especially Egyptians." Mido spent the first half of the season with Zamalek, where he was supposed to stay till the end of the term. However, He opted to cut short the loan stint at his boyhood club after failing to live up to expectations. Later on, the former Roma man signed for West Ham United in an attempt to resurrect his glory days. But Mido was far from impressive, having failed to find the net in the nine matches he has taken part in so far in the Premier League this season. Sky Sports reported on Wednesday that some leading clubs in Turkey and Greece are keen on acquiring Mido's services in the close season. The report is yet to be confirmed.
