David Beckham is poised to join Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain, Sky Sports News reported on Thursday.
The
former England captain, who has been training with Premier League club
Arsenal in a bid to retain his fitness, has travelled to Paris to
undergo a medical.
Beckham
was seen by a Reuters photographer entering the cardiology department
of the La Pitie Salpetriere hospital in Paris in the early afternoon.
"On
way to Paris, excited. I will update you all later," Beckham wrote on
his official Facebook page above a picture of him in what appeared to
be a private jet.
PSG
manager Carlo Ancelotti's usual pre-game press conference was cancelled
on Thursday and replaced by a news conference at the Parc des Princes
with the club's sporting director Leonardo and president Nasser
al-Khelaifi at 16:00 GMT.
Beckham,
the 37-year-old former Manchester United and Real Madrid, is a free
agent after leaving LA Galaxy at the end of the Major League Soccer
(MLS) season in December.
