Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp believes his squad still lacks leadership after defeat to Everton.
Spurs remain fourth in the Barclays Premier League but Redknapp felt the 2-1 loss at Goodison Park exposed shortcomings in his side which maybe Beckham could conceal.
Redknapp said: "I still feel at times we lack leadership and that has been a big concern for me every since I have been here.
"I feel we need one or two more out there who are a bit more vocal and have that will when things are going against you to make sure you don't get beaten. They're difficult to find.
"I've said that to the chairman loads of times.
"It might not be a superstar player you sign but someone who brings that quality."
