David Beckham is likely to join Tottenham Hotspur on a two-month loan from LA Galaxy and the Premier League club’s manager Harry Redknapp hoped the deal would be completed this weekend, he said on Friday.
The talks (between the clubs) are going on and there’s a good chance it could happen,” Redknapp told reporters at the club’s training ground.
“There’s not too much to sort out. I think it will get done. We’re sorting out the length of the loan. I don’t think it’s a financial issue, certainly not from David’s point of view.”
Redknapp added that former England captain Beckham, 35, could join in time to be introduced to the fans at their FA Cup third round match against Charlton Athletic at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
Beckham would then be in the squad to face his former club Manchester United at White Hart Lane on Jan. 16. United are top of the table eight points ahead of Tottenham with a game in hand.
“I still think he has got something to offer as a player,” said Redknapp. “He could lift the level of the other players. I think he would be a good influence around the place. Someone of that stature could be a massive player for us.”
