Avram Grant has offered David Beckham the chance to come "home" and sign for West Ham.
The former England captain is said to be considering a move back to the Premier League on loan from the Los Angeles Galaxy, with Tottenham apparently leading the chase.
But Grant has now put the Hammers forward as a potential destination for 35-year-old midfielder Beckham, who was born close to Upton Park in Leytonstone.
"There are other teams who want him, he's a big player and a big personality," said Grant. "But if David Beckham wants to come to West Ham he is welcome.
"I like him as a player and as a person, and he's a local lad.
"Many clubs want him but if he wants to come to West Ham I would be happy."
