David Beckham will be returning to the San Siro to play for AC Milan once the MLS season has reached his conclusion.

An arrangement has been reached between his parent club Los Angeles Galaxy and the Serie A giants to replicate the loan deal that took place last season. England manager Fabio Capello has always said that his players must play first team football in a well-regarded league in order to be eligible for selection and in a World Cup year that becomes even more important.

In his previous stint in northern Italy Beckham proved to be something of a revelation scoring two goals in his eighteen appearances for the Rossoneri scotching accusations that he was only recruited for marketing purposes. He also demonstrated his trademark work ethic as well as his astute football brain to become a firm crowd favourite.

The move means ‘Goldenballs’ will be able to play in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League assuming that Milan qualify from Group C. He will also renew acquaintances with a star-studded midfield that includes the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Clarence Seedorf and Gennaro Gattuso – a far cry from the likes of Leonard Griffin and Chris Birchall with whom he shares the middle of the park at the Galaxy.

Providing Beckham is he shlould be in line for an appearance against Serie A Leaders Internazionale in the Milan derby an occasion for which tickets are still available via this website.
