“Maybe he’d choose a bigger club like Spurs”

QPR remain keen on signing David Beckham, but know they are unlikely to be his first choice.

Vice-chairman Amit Bhatia admits as much, with it expected that Beckham will head to Tottenham – where he trained last season – should be return to the Premier League and chase his 2012 Olympic dream.

“Would we like to have him? Most certainly,” said Bhatia.

“Have Tony and I discussed it? Yes.

“I am just not sure it’s a real possibility. We would like to sign people of Beckham’s calibre. I am just not certain Beckham would choose to come to us as a newly-promoted side.

“If he came to London, maybe he’d choose a bigger club like Spurs.”
