West Ham United want David Beckham to return to his East End roots and end his playing career at Upton Park.
The club's owners David Gold and David Sullivan have asked Beckham to return to London and lead the revolution that will see the Hammers move into the new Olympic Stadium by 2013.
The former England captain has been plying his trade with LA Galaxy and AC Milan in the past few seasons, but could be tempted by a return to the Premier League.
“David Beckham could play a massive part, because of his roots, in helping West Ham [United] win the Olympic Stadium,” co-owner David Gold told the Sunday Express.
“And maybe he can still play for us in the autumn of his career. For him to join a club like us and help us bring another dream to fruition would be perfect for everyone. We want him aboard.”
Although manager Avram Grant has already brought in several players, the Hammers are continuing their search to secure a marquee signing this summer and have been linked with the likes of Ronaldinho after missing out on Thierry Henry.
Club owners Gold and Sullivan have been long-time admirers of Beckham, having made an initial enquiry into his possible signing back in January.
However, having failed with their initial bid to lure him to east London, the pair believe this latest project will be enough to persuade the Manchester United legend to turn his back on MLS.
