Becks

Almost chocked on me Conflakes when I saw this one this morning. Think Spurs is more likely. :wink:

David Beckham’s frustrations at his lack of first-team appearances at Real Madrid have renewed speculation about his future with both Tottenham and Celtic being touted as possible buyers.

The former England captain has been mainly used as a substitute this season for Real and he has made it clear he is far from happy with the situation.

But with the player having said in the past he would not play in the English Premiership again, a move to Scotland and Celtic who are eager to make progress in the Champions League could be on the cards according to the Sunday Telegraph.

The paper reported that Celtic manager Gordon Strachan is aware of Beckham’s plight and was not averse to acquiring another high profile transfer deal following the capture of another Manchester United legend Roy Keane last year.

“I have David’s telephone number,” Strachan was reported as saying. “He is a wonderful player who is still very fit and could play at the highest level for another three years. I know he would not go to another club in England.”

Spurs coach Martin Jol was also thought to be considering a bid to bring Beckham to London to help his side turn the tide on a poor start to the season.

“I’ll sit down and think about it,” the Dane told The Mail on Sunday.

“We are well covered on the flanks already. It’s a difficult one.

Beckham is under contract with Real until 2007 and has said several times that he may prolong that deal until 2009.

But his current status as a substitute under new boss Fabio Capello has put a brake on negotiations over that contract extension, sparking the speculation that he could be on the move.
