Tottenham boss Martin Jol is convinced Roma striker Mido will not sign for a Premiership rival.
"Maybe he will go back to Roma, you never know," said Jol.
"We could have done business with them earlier. But I told him if he scores between 12 and 15 goals and looks sharp, then he has got his deal. We will wait and see what happens.
"He has scored 11 goals and fulfilled his part of the bargain. I don't regret not tying it up before but he was on loan and normally you take a player on loan for a year or six months, but we managed to get him for 18.
"It was probably the first time in the history of football to get somebody like him on loan for 18 months.
"I still feel he wants to stay here and he likes it here. It is a matter of negotiating - you know what I mean."
