The former England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson says he has offered David Beckham a chance to join Leicester City in a player-coach role.

Beckham's Major League Soccer contract with LA Galaxy is set to expire in November and Eriksson, now in charge at Leicester, says he has discussed the possible move with the 36-year-old.

Eriksson says he has "already had that discussion with him. I spoke to him about Leicester," adding: "Beckham, he will never say no to me – he says, 'Sven, we'll see. We'll see.'"

Beckham has also been linked with Tottenham and QPR, as well as the French side Paris Saint-Germain.
