Harry Redknapp, the manager of Tottenham, has said that he would try to bring former England captain David Beckham to Spurs in January.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Beckham-c10432 is currently under contract at LA Galaxy in USA’s Major Soccer League. The American season starts on 15th of March, and till then Beckham’s services can be availed.
Redknapp said that they would get in touch with LA Galaxy and see if they are interested in a short term deal. He added that it would be great to have a player of his experience and stature in his team for even that brief a period.
Spending a 3 month loan period away from USA is not a new thing for David Beckham. The 35 year old spent 2 similar loan spells at Italian team AC Milan in 2009 and later in 2010.
Beckham does have some former connections with Spurs; he was born in London and before he moved on to Manchester United, Beckham spent some time at the Tottenham training grounds and did ponder on becoming a part of that club at one point.
David Beckham, since leaving Manchester United, has had many chances to come back to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, but has not taken them. Beckham had earlier maintained that he would not be able to play in the English Premier League for any other club, and maybe that is the
reason he has still not decided to come back to England.
Earlier in November, Everton had also tried to make such a deal with Beckham, but he said that it was too difficult for him to play for Everton. He said that he is not just a former Red Devil but also a true United fan at heart, and it would be difficult
for him to play for Everton. Back in July it was Avram Grant, the manager of West Ham, who tried to get the services of the former England captain, but once again he decided to say no. Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson also tried to persuade him at
Leicester in December.
David had earlier said that he would prefer to stay back and work on his fitness during off season instead of going on a loan move. He said that he has been out for a while and needs to work to get back to full fitness. Beckham was out for almost six months
after suffering an Achilles injury just before the world cup while playing for AC Milan. He also missed the chance to be part of the England team for what would have been his final world cup. Although, he did travel with the team and worked as part of the
management staff and a mediator between manager and the players.
David Beckham played 394 matches for Manchester United and was part of the historic Treble winning team in 1999.
Despite the fact that Beckham has put down all the offers from England, Harry Redknapp believes that he still can convince him to come to Spurs. Tottenham is currently on 5th place in the league and are also playing in UEFA Champions League. Redknapp
said that the lure of maybe playing once again in the premier club competition may bring David Beckham to Spurs.
Harry said that he did have a little chat with Beckham few months back, and he did float the idea of asking him to come and play in England. He added that David did not say yes but he did not just dismiss the idea and said that it may be a possibility.
