Redknapp: Beckham likely to sign

"The talks (between the clubs) are going on and there's a good chance it could happen," Redknapp told reporters at the club's training ground.

"I still think he has got something to offer as a player," said Redknapp. "He could lift the level of the other players. I think he would be a good influence around the place. Someone of that stature could be a massive player for us."

The Italian initially called time on Beckham's international career in August but the midfielder has maintained his desire to represent his country again.
