Newcastle boss Alan Pardew will discuss with Toon chiefs the possibility of a loan move for former England skipper David Beckham. The 35 year old is seeking another short-term deal during LA Galaxy's MLS close season.
Pardew though faces competition from Tottenham and Everton, with others waiting in the wings, for the former Manchester United player's services.
"David Beckham is an asset to a team on a number of levels," said the Newcastle boss in the Daily Star.
"But for a manager it's the playing level and the fact he can deliver a ball. He has the experience and guile to play for this team, 100 per cent.
"But there has been no talk about David Beckham. Perhaps I should ring him and see what he's up to, see if he is coming home.
"We won't leave any stone unturned for any player who becomes available and who we think can take the club forward.
"That conversation will probably take place on Monday or Tuesday next week.
"We're just looking at the market and making calls to see who is and isn't available. Then we'll have to nail it down. I will put David on the list!"
