Beckham loan deal falls through

"I don't think (a loan deal) will happen - there's a big problem with the insurance," Redknapp told Sky Sports television.

"David is welcome to come and train with us for a month, which I think he would like to do. But as for him playing - it's looking like a no-goer."

Beckham told the Spurs website: "It's important that I maintain a high level of fitness during the MLS off-season.

"I'm thankful to Tottenham and Harry Redknapp for giving me the opportunity to train with the team over the next month. I'm grateful to the LA Galaxy for allowing to me to train with Spurs. I look forward to getting to work as soon as possible."
