Newcastle have dismissed reports linking David Beckham
with a move to St James' Park.
Kevin Keegan replaced Sam Allardyce as Magpies manager last week
and is now looking to strengthen his squad before the close of the
transfer window.
A number of high-profile names have already been linked with moves
to Newcastle and speculation has suggested that Beckham was one of
those firmly in Keegan's sights.
The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder has been training with Arsenal in
recent weeks during the Major League Soccer off-season.
He played under Keegan for England and it was reported that
Newcastle were lining up a short-term deal for him.
However, Newcastle chairman Chris Mort has rubbished the
story.
"There's no truth Newcastle United are interested in signing David
Beckham," Mort said.
