Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has revealed he
would be interested in signing David Beckham if the England
midfielder became available ahead of next year's World Cup
finals
Beckham, currently on loan at AC Milan from LA Galaxy until the
end of the Serie A season, will require an additional loan spell to
maintain his match-fitness ahead of the 2010 South Africa
showpiece, with next season's MLS campaign ending as early as
October.
And following reports that Spurs would attempt to lure the
former England skipper to White Hart Lane for the second half of
the 2009/10 Premier League season, Redknapp admitted he would not
turn down the opportunity to bag Goldenballs should it present
itself.
“I have not thought about David Beckham, but it would be
disrespectful of me to say I would not be interested in him, were
he to become available," he said.
“David Beckham is a fantastic player, but he is also a terrific
role model and a terrific professional. If the opportunity was
there to sign him, any club would have to think about it.
“He would still be a terrific player. His delivery of the ball
remains exceptional, he is a great trainer and he is a local boy
from up the road.”
However, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder's
current club, AC Milan, are expected to try and persuade Beckham to
return to the San Siro next year, with the 33-year-old having
proved a success in Serie A since arriving in January.
“I hope Beckham comes back to us but from now until the January
transfer window he will definitely be in Los Angeles,” said Milan
vice-president Adriano Galliani.
