Beckham has Spurs medical

David Beckham has undergone a medical at Tottenham before joining up with the Spurs squad in training on Tuesday.

The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder is set to train with the English Premier League side until February, when he will return to the United States to prepare for the coming MLS season.

Beckham, 35, was originally expected to make a loan move to White Hart Lane and make a handful of domestic and Champions League appearances for Spurs boss Harry Redknapp.

However, concerns over insuring Beckham after he injured his Achilles while on-loan to AC Milan last season appear to have scuppered any hopes of a Premier League return for the former Manchester United midfielder.

Tottenham are reportedly working with Galaxy to resurrect the loan deal, with Spurs bosses hopeful of finding an equitable solution to contentious issues of salary share and insurance.

Galaxy bosses are believed to be reticent to send Beckham out on loan without considerable protection on their part, given the 35-year-old missed much of the 2010 MLS season due to his Achilles injury.
