EDGAR DAVIDS is set to follow David Beckham to America -
after going AWOL at Tottenham.
Dutch veteran Davids, 33, is having negotiations with Major League
Soccer club FC Dallas who are managed by former Arsenal midfielder
Steve Morrow. They are willing to DOUBLE Davids' current
£50,000-aweek contract with Spurs as the former Ajax and Inter
Milan star is still one of the most recognisable stars of European
football.
But it comes after Davids had a spectacular falling out with
Tottenham who have told him to go and find himself a new club
during January's transfer window. Davids, who is out of contract at
the end of the season, has not played since Tottenham's Carling Cup
win over Southend on December 20 and has rarely been seen at the
training ground since.
Famous for his pitbull nickname and wearing protective glasses for
an eye condition, Davids has become increasingly fed-up at finding
himself a bit-part player. FC Dallas boss Morrow said: "We are
actually in negotiations with Edgar Davids. It's the transfer
window in the United States now - and if a deal is going to happen
it has to be done before the end of the month."
