Grant hopes hammers can tempt Beckham

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."
