Allardyce 'would like fit Beckham'

West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has reportedly stated his desire to bring David Beckham to the club - as long as he can prove his fitness.

The 37-year-old midfielder, who was born in east London, this week stated his intention to leave the Los Angeles Galaxy at the end of the year and the Hammers have been one of a number of clubs linked with him since.

The Sun quotes Allardyce as saying: "Yes, I would like to see a fit David Beckham at West Ham. But he would need to come and do a fitness test like any other player."
