Celtic and Tottenham may be interested in signing Real Madrid
midfielder David Beckham in January.
The 31-year-old has not been a regular in Real's first team this
season and is out of contract in the summer of 2007.
"I have David's telephone number," Celtic manager Gordon Strachan
told the Sunday Telegraph. "He is a wonderful player who is still
very fit."
Spurs boss Martin Jol is also a Beckham fan and told the Mail of
Sunday: "I'll sit down and have a think about it."
However, Strachan is convinced Beckham, who joined Real in a £25m
move from Manchester United in 2003, will not return to the
Premiership.
"He could play at the highest level for another three years and I
know he would not go to another club in England," said
Strachan.
The former England captain has yet to sign a new contract at Real
and admits he is frustrated at his lack of action this season after
the arrival of new manager Fabio Capello.
He has largely been used as a substitute and missed the match with
newly-promoted Gimnastic Tarragona on Saturday because of
injury.
There has been increasing speculation linking Beckham to Major
League Soccer in the United States.
In January he will be able to negotiate with other clubs and if he
does not sign a new deal with Real he will be able to leave at the
end of his contract next summer.
