Redknapp: We cannot guarantee Beckham regular football

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits that Spurs are unlikely to sign David Beckham as they cannot promise him regular football.

The former England captain spent some time training with Spurs earlier this year and he was linked with a return to White Hart Lane.

However, Harry Redknapp admits that is unlikely to happen.

“It’s a difficult one,” Redknapp told talkSPORT. “I had him training last year not only as a player but as a fellow around the place, he was a different class. Everybody absolutely loved him, he had time for everyone – he was just superb.

“He’s still a fantastic footballer. The problem is that he plays wide right. I’ve got Aaron Lennon who plays there. Rafael van der Vaart can play there in certain games.

“Wherever he goes, he’s going to want to play, so it’s not going to be easy to say I can guarantee him a place in the team.

“I wouldn’t say it’s a definite no-no with Tottenham, but I think he’s going to want to play regularly, that’s the problem.

“I couldn’t sit and say he’ll play every game. If he wants to play every game, it may be a problem.”
