David Beckham to Join Tottenham

Rumors are swirling around about potential transfer activity in the Premier League, as today marks the opening of the mid-season transfer window. One player who is always being talked about at this time of year is David Beckham, as he is always looking to play while MLS is on their break. The last two seasons Beckham has joined A.C Milan, but if the rumors are true, he is all set to join London team Tottenham Hotspurs.

London Born, London Bred

Beckham is a London lad, and he was born not that far from where Tottenham play. He said that he would only consider a move back to Manchester United, if he were to join the premier league again, however, Harry Redknapp who is the current Tottenham boss said that he spoke with Beckham and that he is keen to join spurs on a short term loan.

If he were to join the London club, it would mark a sensational return to English football. Beckham left the Premier League seven and a half years ago when he joined Real Madrid, after a falling out with Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson.

Harry Redknapp sees Beckham as the ideal squad player for spurs, as they continue on through their impressive season. While Aaron Lennon is considered to be first choice for spurs down the right flank, Beckham would give him some much needed competition. David Bentley is Tottenham's other right sided midfielder, but he is perma-crocked and it looks like Redknapp wants to send him out on loan to regain some fitness.

Beckham Makes Headlines elsewhere

Aside from football, Beckham has also been in the news this week for other reason. The alleged encounter with a prostitute in 2007, has come back into public light, after Beckham filed a lawsuit against Irma Nici, a Bosnian born prostitute.

No doubt, fans of soccer would love to see Beckham back in the premier league. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest English players of all time, and many would love to see him play in his native country one more time, before he calls time on his illustrious playing career.
