David Beckham will certainly return to play the 2011 MLS season with LA Galaxy if he does happen to go out on loan.

The 35-year old star midfielder is being chased by a few English Premier League clubs regarding a short-term deal starting in January and a spokesman for the ex-England captain confirmed that he is in the market to go out on loan but will return to Los Angeles at its conclusion.

"At the moment we are waiting on the decision of LA Galaxy with regards to a loan move," the spokesman told Press Association Sport. "The loan would be a short one until the start of the MLS season. David would then return and play a full season with the Galaxy."

Tottenham and Newcastle United are believed to be very keen on Beckham but at this stage there have been no official offers.

"Tottenham are one of many clubs who are interested but as yet we have not got into any detailed conversations as we are waiting on LA Galaxy's decision," the spokesman added.
