West Ham United are planning an audacious move for LA Galaxy star David Beckham.

Hammers co-owner David Sullivan has told the Daily Mail they're trying to bring Beckham back to the Premiership.

He said: "I'd love David Beckham. He has massive cult status in east London and still has a house near Bishop's Stortford, not far from our training ground. He's from Chingford, which is our heartland. We are the club of east London and Essex.

"If AC Milan didn't want him in January and if he still wanted to do it, I'd love to have him. He seems a remarkable professional.

"When I was a kid, Stanley Matthews went back to Stoke at the age of 46. He lifted the gates like you wouldn't believe and got them promoted when everyone thought they were finished."
