Blackburn Rovers manager Sam Allardyce has questioned whether David Beckham would be keen on a move to Ewood Park.
Rovers' prospective new owner Ahsan Ali Syed has recently admitted that he would love to sign the former Manchester United and Real Madrid superstar to raise the profile of the club.
However, Allardyce doubts whether the Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder would be open to a switch back to England after leaving Manchester United in 2003.
"Mr Syed says that he would like to spend it on youth, and then that he would like to sign David Beckham," Allardyce told Sky Sports News.
"Obviously that's not actually youth, but that's like more of a PR signing that would bring a lot of attention to the club.
"To me it is about whether David is still good enough to play in the Premier League at his age, and he probably is.
"And the other factor is does he want to come to Blackburn and does he want to come back to England?
"In my experience the answer to that is no. He has never really wanted to play for anyone else other than Manchester United, that was the last time I spoke to him which was a number of years ago, and if he can't do that then he would sooner player somewhere else in the world of football."
