David Beckham is expected to join
Paris St Germain after leaving LA Galaxy, according to Sky sources.
The former England captain is believed to be undergoing a
medical before his signing is announced at a news conference scheduled for 4pm.
According to the website of Le Parisien, a private jet arrived
in Paris this morning carrying "Le Spice Boy".
The 37-year-old left LA Galaxy in December after a six-year
stint in America's Major League Soccer and is understood to have had a number
of lucrative offers from around the world.
In recent days he has been training Arsenal but manager Arsene
Wenger said there were no plans to sign the former Manchester United midfielder
who "doesn't look at all to be in shape".
Beckham, who played a record 115 outfield games for England,
left Old Trafford for Real Madrid in 2003 before moving to the Galaxy in August
2007.
While in LA he had two stints on loan with Italian giants AC
Milan.
Carlo Ancelotti, who was in charge at Milan during Beckham’s
time there, manages PSG.
Beckham will be hoping to add the Ligue 1 title to his other
three league successes in England, Spain and the US when he joins the
big-spending club.
PSG's Qatari owners have invested more than £300m in players
since buying the club in 2011.
Beckham,
however, will be brought in on a free transfer, as he is currently a free
agent.
