Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has revealed he would love to sign England midfielder David Beckham on loan in the January transfer window.
Beckham wants to play for a top European club during the Major League Soccer close-season to keep alive his ambition of adding to his 115 England caps.
The 35-year-old, who has had two loan spells at AC Milan, has previously said that he could not envisage playing for any English club other than Manchester United.
But Redknapp is convinced he can persuade Beckham to return to the club just down the road from where he was born in East London.
"It's whether Galaxy will let him go on loan," Redknapp told a press conference. "If they did, we'd be interested and plenty of others would be as well.
"He'd be a good influence to have, the type of lad you want at your club and he'd give the whole place a lift.
"He's been a fantastic player and he is someone the players would look up to and respect. I still think he can do a job for sure.
"And he's not coming back for the money, that's for sure. He's coming back because he still has a passion for the game.
"It tells you everything about him that he wants to play football in the freezing cold when he could spend the next three months relaxing by his pool."
If Beckham did make the move he would come up against United at White Hart Lane on January 16.
