Tottenham lead the chase to sign David Beckham who wants a return to the Barclays Premier League after his contract at LA Galaxy runs out.

Beckham's deal in America will end soon and French Ligue 1 side Paris St Germain have made clear their desire to sign him.

But the 36-year-old midfielder wants to return home and Tottenham are best positioned to land his signature, according to the People.

London calling: Beckham's time in LA could be coming to an end

PSG had lead the way in attempting to land Becks ahead of next summer’s London Olympics, with the club’s Qatari owners hoping to cash-in on his world wide brand influence.

Qatari investors have ploughed millions into the capital club since buying it in May, and the 36-year-old former England captain, whose LA Galaxy contract ends in the coming weeks, is seen as a key target.

'David Beckham goes beyond the sport. He is an ambassador, he is a brand, he is an example to others,' PSG president Nasser al-Khelaifi said.

'But he is also still a very good football player whose age is not a problem.'

Yet Beckham is keen to join the north London club who continue to impress in the upper echelons of the Premier League under manager Harry Redknapp.
