AC Milan have confirmed that England midfielder David Beckham will rejoin them in January on loan from LA Galaxy.

The 34-year-old impressed during a stint with the Rossoneri last season and is keen to ensure his selection for next summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani commented: "We are very happy to see again David Beckham with the Rossoneri jersey after the splendid experience of last season.

"We are certain that this time in Europe will help the player take part in the next World Cup and to continue after his career in Los Angeles Galaxy, to whom we thank for their time."

Beckham himself added: "I needed to give myself the best possible opportunity to go to the World Cup and to play on loan for Milan will help me to do that.

"I really enjoyed my previous experience at Milan and I can't wait to see the team and the staff again.

"I remain linked to the Los Angeles Galaxy and to the MLS and I always feel a duty, as always, to help grow football in America.

"Now I am fully focused on ending in the best possible way the season winning the MLS Cup."
