There's talk delays over Tottenham's deal for LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham is being done so he misses a difficult debut against former club Manchester United.
The London Evening Standard says it is believed that agreement still needs to be reached between Spurs and Galaxy over Beckham's reported wages of £80,000 a week and image rights. Spurs will want any playing period to be made worth their while because a first-team squad of 25 has to be registered with the Premier League on 31 January.
Under the current arrangement Beckham would only be available to play in four League games plus the Fulham FA Cup tie.
One source suggested that an extended loan contract until the start of the new MLS season on 15 March will be signed but the apparent delay in formalising a deal is a convenience that means Beckham will not have to face the prospect of making his Spurs debut against former club Manchester United at the Lane on Sunday.
