David Beckham will undergo a medical at Tottenham on Monday as talks regarding a proposed loan deal continue.

The 35-year-old L.A. Galaxy midfielder is back in England and has arrived at Tottenham’s training ground with his boots at the ready, despite the fact that the first-team squad was given the day off following Sunday’s 3-0 FA Cup victory over Charlton.

Coach Harry Redknapp revealed over the weekend that the former Three Lions skipper was to jet in this week, with the Los Angeles Galaxy having granted permission for him to work on his fitness with Tottenham.

It was initially hoped that a short-term agreement could be put in place with his Major League Soccer team, which would allow Beckham to turn out in the English Premier League (EPL) for the first time since leaving Manchester United back in 2003.

However, discussions have stalled, with Redknapp admitting Sunday morning that he considered the deal to be dead.

He changed his tune later in the day, claiming a switch could yet be agreed, but there remain a number of issues to iron out.

For now Beckham is set to work with Tottenham until Feb. 10, when he will be expected to return to the United States ahead of the 2011 MLS season.

However, with the new campaign in America not due to get underway until Mar. 15, Tottenham remains hopeful that a deal can be struck which will allow them to take advantage of Beckham’s considerable experience and undoubted ability.Read more: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6648623,00.html
