Beckham Will Not Be Making Loan Move To Newcastle Says LA Galaxy Coach Yallop - Spurs, Everton & Blackburn Also Fail

Reports suggesting that England and former Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham may be making a return to the Premiership, possibly on loan for Newcastle United, have been completely dismissed by Los Angeles Galaxy head coach Frank Yallop.

The LA Galaxy boss insisted that the former Real Madrid star will not be going out on loan anywhere following the conclusion of the MLS season in November, despite the offer from Newcastle United boss Sam Allardyce to take the former Manchester United star on loan.

Other Premiership clubs - Everton, Tottenham Hotspur and Blackburn Rovers - have also been linked with a loan deal for the 32-year-old midfielder, who has been on scintillating form for Real Madrid this season.

Yallop, speaking to Sky Sports News, said: "He won't be going on loan anywhere. He'll be taking a break at that point and getting ready for our pre-season.

"He's shown he's a world-class player, he doesn't need to go back and go on loan anywhere."

Beckham has been included in England head coach Steve McClaren’s squad for the upcoming international friendly against Brazil, and the EURO 2008 qualifier against Estonia five days later, with Yallop expecting great things from the former England skipper.

"I think David is going to have such an impact when he joins the squad again it will be difficult to leave him out to be honest," he said.

"We realise David wants to get to the 100-cap plateau and we will never stop him doing that," finished Yallop.

It now very much looks like Beckham will NOT be making a return to The Premiership come the end of the 2007 MLS season.
