?Former England team captain David Beckham is going to train with Tottenham Hotspur during the offseason of the MLS, announced the Premier League side on Sunday.

According to the London club, the 35-year-old will train with the Spurs' first team squad until February 10 when he will be required to return to LA Galaxy ahead of the start of the MLS season.

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp said, "David is a fantastic professional - he will be a great influence around the place and I am sure we will all benefit from his winning mentality. I think everyone will enjoy having him here."

Spurs have been interested in including the midfield star in their squad for three months on loan but failed to reach an agreement with LA Galaxy.

"We'd love to have him here for longer but respect his commitments to LA Galaxy. They wanted him back in early February so that made it difficult to do a playing deal on the basis of three weeks," said Redknapp.

Beckham said, "It's important that I maintain a high level of fitness during the MLS off season. I'm thankful to Tottenham and Harry Redknapp for giving me the opportunity to train with the team over the next month. I'm grateful to the LA Galaxy for allowing to me to train with Spurs. I look forward to getting to work as soon as possible."
