The Spurs website revealed on Monday that Woodgate passed the medicals and is available for next Wednesday's' league clash against Everton.

The Daily Mail revealed that Mido tried to persuade him to stay at the Riverside. "Woodgate is very important for us and the club needs to keep his best players if we want to move forward," Mido said.

"If you want to build a strong team you need 20 good players and not just the starting lineup."
