MLS club LA Galaxy are hoping they can form a working relationship with English Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur.

The president of Anschutz Entertainment Group, Tim Leiweke, the company that owns the Galaxy are currently helping Spurs in their bid to take over the London Olympic Stadium after the Games in 2012.

He said that a working relationship further than this potential deal would be hugely beneficial for both clubs down the track.

"We have an existing relationship now with Tottenham where we are beginning to think outside the box on football and how we do things together on football," he said in a conference call from Los Angeles.

"Whether that's David Beckham training (with Spurs) or maybe players from Tottenham coming to the Galaxy, playing games against each other.

"Strategically you'll see more of an alliance between us and Tottenham long term."

And Leiweke confirmed that it was his idea to ensure that David Beckham, currently training with Spurs, was back to kick-off the 2011 MLS season with LA after missing most of last year due to an injury sustained on loan with Italian giants AC Milan.

"I am the one that made the decision in asking David to come back and play a full season in MLS because we haven't been able to do that, be it for loans or injury," he added.

"Our commitment has been 'David, you need to be back here for the MLS season that begins in March'.

"It is because we have asked for that commitment, and the timeline in Tottenham was such, that it was very difficult for them (Spurs) to figure out a way to integrate David into the team."
