Tottenham have qualified for the last sixteen stage of the Champions League in style and they could be bolstered by the arrival of David Beckham according to the latest reports.

It appears that the former England captain is considering a loan move to White Hart Lane, something which is sure to delight the vast majority of Spurs supporters, especially with their team facing Milan in the last sixteen stage of the Champions League.

“I think he’d be a good influence at the football club, he’s the type of lad who’d give the place a lift,” said Redknapp. “He’s a proper professional. I read Theo Walcott the other day saying how he spent time around the training ground practising with him – you need people like that around you.

“He’s been a fantastic player and he’s someone who the players would look up to and respect, and I think he could still do a job, for sure. If he’s over his injuries and is as fit as he thinks he is, then he could still play at the top level. It’s not as if he’s suddenly lost blistering pace – he had no pace when he was 17, but he has a great brain and is a great deliverer and striker of the ball.”
