Beckham Takes Fitness Test For Tottenham
LONDON (AP) -- David Beckham took a fitness test at Tottenham on Monday before starting his monthlong training stint with the Premier League club.
Despite talks collapsing over a two-month playing loan from the Los Angeles Galaxy, the midfielder and Spurs are still hopeful that a deal can be revived.
Beckham's stint with Tottenham is scheduled to end on Feb. 10, with the Galaxy expecting the former England captain back to prepare for the MLS season opener at Seattle on March 15.
After undergoing medical tests at Tottenham's training ground east of London, Beckham left within two hours wearing a club tracksuit top and shorts.
The 35-year-old Beckham is hoping to play for Tottenham to boost his chances of being recalled to the England team, having made 115 appearances -- the most by an England outfield player.
