Chelsea and Tottenham are preparing offers for LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham. The Mail on Sunday says AC Milan are also keen to have Beckham back and give him the high level football he will need in order to convince England manager Fabio Capello he is worth a place on the plane to South Africa.

But Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is a fan of the 34-year-old midfielder after signing him on loan from Los Angeles Galaxy last season at San Siro and there are reports that Beckham and his wife, Victoria, have already been looking at schools in London for their three sons.

Tottenham would jump at the chance to bring Beckham back to England.

A source said: "Harry Redknapp has always been a great admirer of David, as a player and as a person, and particularly of the way he has won back his place in the England squad. If he wanted to return to the Premier League, the club would definitely take him."
