It has been announced today that the co-owners David Sullivan and David Gold are looking to bring David Beckham to West Ham United and have also revealed that it doesn’t look likely that former midfielder Joe Cole will make a return to Upton Park.
David Sullivan said this on the matter “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.”
While he also continued to talk about Joe Cole and further targets “We’ve asked Joe to name a price but he said no. We’re fishing high and wide and we’ll land a few. We’re probably looking at 50 players and we might sign four or five. A lot depends on who goes.”
