Jermain Defoe would welcome David Beckham at Tottenham if the former England captain’s talks with Monaco fail to bring about a move.
Beckham trained with Tottenham during the MLS off-season at the beginning of last year and is looking for a new club after calling time on his LA Galaxy career. Monaco are in talks with the
37-year-old midfielder but Defoe told Absolute Radio today: “He can come to Spurs if he wants — we’ll have him here. He’s a fantastic player and I think a credit to the game. If you talk about someone that’s done everything in the game and to still want to play and still have another challenge and still want to achieve something, when you’ve achieved so much, I think that’s a special person.
“He’s someone that I look up to, a legend in the game.”
