Keane Wants Beckham On Loan At Sunderland


This was on Goal.com earlier today. I'm not sure how much this is wishful thinking by the English Press:

According to the Daily Mirror, Sunderland boss has sounded out his former Manchester United team-mate David Beckham about a six-month loan spell with the Black Cats when the American MLS season ends in November.

England midfielder and former captain Beckham has only made five appearances for the LA Galaxy since joining the MLS side in June, because a succession of ankle and knee problems have greatly restricted his playing time.

Now Keane is said to want Beckham to lend his experience to Sunderland, battling to consolidate their place in the Premier League after last season's promotion.

Beckham would join his former Manchester United team mates Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole at Sunderland if ythe loan can be agreed with the Galaxy.

And the move could benefit Beckham, who is hoping to force his way into the England squad ahead of next summer's Euro 2008 tournament in Austria and Switzerland.

But given that the Galaxy invested a reported £128million in Beckham when they signed him from Real Madrid, Sunderland could face a struggle to arrange a loan deal.
