David Beckham’s stellar career is clearly not over yet, but he won’t be returning to his ‘roots’ in the east end of London, despite continuing efforts on the part of David Gold, co-owner of West Ham United.
Beckham, who is currently under contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy, has given no indication that he’s interested in Gold’s offer, and Gold told reporters on Sunday that he has given up on the idea of the big name signing.
Gold said he thought West Ham would have been an ideal place for the English star to end his career, but that Beckham is apparently planning to “move on” and the Hammers will have to do the same.
Earlier this summer, England manager Fabio Capello indicated that Beckham’s international career was over after his Achilles injury kept him out of the World Cup.
Recently, however, it seems that Capello has rethought his decision, and will be giving the English champion some more time for full recovery.
