The agent of Roma striker Mido has warned Tottenham they risk missing out on him in the summer.
The Egypt striker is on loan with Spurs until the end of the season and has expressed an interest in staying.
But the 22-year-old's agent, Mido Raiola, said: "We are talking to Tottenham, we are talking to Roma and to some other clubs.
"Although we have not excluded Tottenham, other clubs are ahead of them now."
Raiola has been surprised that Tottenham have not attempted to conclude a permanent deal.
"Tottenham have not expressed a willingness to conclude the deal and that has surprised me," added Raiola.
"I am not so confident that Tottenham are willing to invest the money they need to invest to get Mido.
"He is not on a free transfer and there are other teams, as big and even bigger than Tottenham, who have an appetite for Mido both in England and in Europe."
Mido moved to White Hart Lane on an 18-month loan deal in January 2005.
