West Ham United co-owner David Sullivan has admitted that he would love to be able to sign England veteran David Beckham.

The 35-year-old midfielder is likely to head back to Europe in January on loan at the end of his latest campaign in the MLS with LA Galaxy and Sullivan would love to be a contender for Beckham's signature.

He told the Daily Mail:"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."
