Sven rules out Beckham move

Sven-Goran Eriksson has ruled out a summer transfer move for LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham. The Man City boss had been linked with a move for the England international.

"I am very happy for David that he's is in the squad because I think he deserves his 100th cap," said Eriksson.

"It has been our policy to have gone for younger players but one of the things I discussed with Dr Thaksin this week was if we should take in, not an old but older player this summer. If we do that it must be a very big name, a very, very big name who can fill the stadium.

"We haven't talked about David Beckham and I think it would be very difficult to match his salary!"
