Redknapp admit Beckham interest

Could David Beckham ever play in English Premier League again? Harry Redknapp said that he is interested in signing former England Captain if he becomes available next season.

Beckham 33, is currently on loan at AC Milan until the end of the Serie A in the summer to complete the Major League Soccer campaign.

After a successful few months in the San Siro, AC Milan have expressed an interest in re-signing Beckham once the MLS campaign comes to an end, while Spurs have been best suitors for the midfielder should he consider another loan move to maintain his fitness ahead of his possible involvement for England at the World Cup in South Africa as England coach Fabio Capello only picks his team according to fitness and form.

Harry insists he has not considered a move for David but he would be in the running to sign him, if he became available.

"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."

“Imagine what the young players at the club could get from someone like that. When I signed Teddy Sheringham for Portsmouth in 2003, he was worth his weight in gold. He was such a great professional that the other players all looked up to him in training. He did everything right, he was superb around the place, and that is what it is about.
"I have met him only once or twice, but he seems a great lad. To have someone like Beckham at your club . . . if the opportunity came and someone said he was available, any club would have to think about it.”
