Becks can't rule out England

Beckham: Has options

David Beckham admits he cannot rule out the possibility of returning to the Premier League as he nears the end of his adventure in the Major Soccer League.

The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder announced his intentions to depart the club after Saturday's MLS Cup final against Houston Dynamo following a six-year stay in the United States.

Football betting experts have touted West Ham as a possible destination for the former Manchester United legend, while new QPR manager Harry Redknapp has also expressed an interest in the ex-England international.

And while Beckham admits it would be tough to return to the English top-flight with a team of a lesser status than the Red Devils, he says he cannot ignore the potential offers put forward to him.

"I'm lucky. At the age of 37 I've been offered some quite exciting options and there are a few options on the table," he told Sky Sports.

"I always said I'd struggle to come back and play in England because I've played for the biggest club in the world and biggest club in England - Manchester United.

"So I couldn't see myself playing for any other Premier League club, but you never know. I've got options on the table.

"I do think I'll be spending more time in England though and it's good for our kids to see their grandparents.

"Over the last six years it's been difficult not seeing them as much as we'd like and they'd like, but we definitely won't be leaving LA for good."

The latest football odds from bookmakers suggest that a return to England is at best an outside chance, but with Harry Redknapp now at QPR and with money to burn, a move to London could yet materialize.
