LONDON: David Beckham’s proposed loan move to Tottenham Hotspur has fallen through, the English Premier League club’s manager, Harry Redknapp, said yesterday.
The LA Galaxy midfielder will instead train with Spurs for a month until Feb 10, when he will return to the United States to prepare for the start of the Major League Soccer (MLS) season. “I don’t think (a loan deal) will happen - there’s a big problem with the insurance,” Redknapp told Sky Sports television.
“David is welcome to come and train with us for a month, which I think he would like to do. But as for him playing - it’s looking like a no-goer.”
Beckham told the Spurs website (
www.tottenhamhotspur.com): “It’s important that I maintain a high level of fitness during the MLS off-season.
