What happened. Mido says he texted Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy to sign Omar Marmoush, but the club ignored his advice.

• Mido also urged Levy to sign Mohamed Salah during his Basel days.
• Marmoush is now subject of a double bid involving Savinho.
• Levy replied he would follow up on Salah, but now regrets it.

“I sent a text message via phone to Daniel Levy, the chairman of Tottenham, with whom I have a good relationship, to sign Mohamed Salah while he was playing in Basel.”

— Mido

Tottenham could have signed Marmoush earlier if they had heeded Mido's advice.
