Beckham Extends Training With Tottenham By 2 Weeks

LONDON (AP) -- David Beckham has extended his training with Tottenham by another two weeks.

The former England captain was set to return to the United States this week but the Premier League side says he will stick around until Feb. 22.

The 35-year-old midfielder will begin preseason training with the Los Angeles Galaxy on Feb. 24 in preparation for the Major League Soccer season.

Tottenham's attempt to sign Beckham on loan last month faltered. But manager Harry Redknapp said he could try again when his contract with the Galaxy expires in November.
