Redknapp plans Beckham loan offer

Last updated : 01 January 2011 By BBC Sport

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp will attempt to bring former England captain David Beckham to White Hart Lane on loan from LA Galaxy in January.The Major League Soccer season restarts on 15 March, giving Redknapp hope of a temporary deal for the 35-year-old.

"We'll contact LA Galaxy to see if they will let him go and if David is up for a three-month deal, we will definitely be interested," said Redknapp.

Beckham had similar spells on loan at Italian club AC Milan in 2009 and 2010.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid wideman was born and raised in north London and trained at Tottenham before signing his first professional deal with the Red Devils.

Redknapp insists that the intense media coverage that would accompany Beckham's return to the Premier League for the first time since 2003 would not derail his side's title ambitions.

"I don't think it would be a distraction. Once you're in here, the gates are shut," he added.
