David Beckham could be set to make a stunning return to England - with Championship side Leicester City.

Foxes boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has already splashed the cash this summer but has reportedly been given the green light to make his most ambitious move yet.

And the former England boss is keen to be re-united with his former captain.

Leicester’s billionaire Thai backers King Power are ­determined to help Eriksson guide the Championship ­outfit to the top flight.

And they have sanctioned a swoop for Beckham, 36, in the January transfer ­window when the MLS season comes to an end.

The club are growing in reputation in the Far East and Raksriaksorn is ­prepared to fund ­Beckham’s £200,000-a-week wages for six weeks.

A businessman close to King Power told The Daily Star on Sunday: 'This time the Raksriaksorn family are going all out to get Sven to bring Beckham to Leicester. Even they have been overwhelmed at how big Leicester have become here in Asia.

'They are keen to maintain the momentum and, of course, grow the club.

'Sven is in touch with Beckham, the funding is in place and they hope a deal can be done that will suit both parties. It will be good for ­everyone.'

In the past, Beckham has trained with both Arsenal and Spurs and played for AC Milan during the MLS close-season.

He will again be keen to maintain his fitness before the US season kicks off again in March and a move to the Championship could give him a few weeks to get himself into shape before the American season begins.

Raksriaksorn believes Eriksson has the ­persuasive powers to ­convince the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star that a move on loan to the Championship would be ­mutually beneficial.

He said: 'We want to get into the Premier League simply because I would love to see the team get ­promoted, because we are a big team.

'We have a clear vision that we are trying to take the club to the ­ Premier League.'
