      And he helped them lift the Premier League Cup, with his impressive displays earning him a permanent move to the West London outfit.
      He initially joined on loan from his father’s MLS club Inter Miami and is now focused on continuing to develop in England.
      But he was front and centre for Brentford’s kit launch this week as he donned their fresh strip – which they will wear for the next two seasons.
      Beckham will begin the 2023/24 campaign in the academy side – who have a different sponsor on their kit – but has aspirations of forcing his way into Thomas Frank’s thoughts.

      And while modelling Brentford’s new strip, he added the Instagram caption: “2023/24 can’t wait,” alongside a bee and black heart emoji.
      After penning a deal with the Premier League side last month, Beckham said: “It’s been such a good experience, I’ve loved every second of it. It’s a good group of boys, good coaches. It’s a really nice place to be.
      “It’s been amazing [the support]. It’s helped me settle in, and enjoy playing in England. Obviously, a different experience to Miami, but I’ve loved every second of it.
      “Seeing Trev [Ryan Trevitt] and a couple of the boys on the bench, it shows it’s all possible. If you work hard enough, you’ll get there.”

      Harry Kane ‘meets Tuchel at his London home’ as Bayern Munich transfer target says ‘I want to win Champions League’

      by

      BAYERN MUNICH manager Thomas Tuchel has met with Harry Kane in London to discuss a stunning transfer, reports in Germany say. The England captain has just 12 months left on his current Tottenham contract, fuelling speculation he could be sold this season.

      And Bayern were the first to bid when the summer window opened but their offer of £60.2million plus add-ons was rejected.
      The German champions are set to go in again with a second improved package.
      And according to BILD, Bayern boss Tuchel even visited Kane’s home in the capital to discuss a move.
      It is added the Tottenham legend told Tuchel it would appeal to him to win with Bayern the Champions League.

      Kane lives in a £17million home with his wife Katie and three children Ivy, Vivienne Jane and Louis.
      The mansion includes an indoor gym and seven bedrooms with Spurs memorabilia everywhere.

      But his 14-year Tottenham love affair could come to an end as the star striker looks to win his first piece of silverware.
      Manchester United have strongly been linked with Kane but no official offer has come through.

      Chelsea are now managed by Mauricio Pochettino, who enjoyed an incredible relationship with the forward during his time in North London.
      But Spurs chairman Daniel Levy’s strained and storied relationship with the Blues makes a deal incredibly unlikely.
      It gives Bayern a clear path to signing Kane as they look to find a replacement for Robert Lewandowski.
      Lewandowski left for Barcelona in 2022 after eight years in Munich, where he won EIGHT league titles and the Champions League.
      Bayern’s top scorer last season was winger Serge Gnabry, followed by Jamal Musiala.
      And despite still having Thomas Muller and ex-Liverpool wideman Sadio Mane, they are without a recognised No9.
      That has led the Bundesliga kings to make Kane their No1 target this summer.

      Beckham’s career took his family to America with LA Galaxy and Italy with AC Milan after that.
      But in 2013, the England legend’s future was at a standstill, paving the way for them to move back home.
      That was until PSG came knocking.
      Beckham, 48, revealed at the launch of a friend’s charity: “It was the first time Victoria could choose where we moved to, because before that the family had to move with me.

      “So she decided to move back to London, where her business is. On the way back to London my phone rang and it was the PSG president.
      “When I had to explain to Victoria she burst into tears because she’d obviously felt that, after all of this time, she had me back.

      “But she knew I’d been offered an opportunity to win another trophy. She’s an incredible woman.
      “I don’t think I’ve met anyone that works as hard as her. She is committed to not just our family but her business as well, and she’s having so much success that has come through hard work over the years.”

      The move paid off as Beckham went on to win the French league title in the capital, making 14 PSG appearances.
      He retired afterwards but has stayed in the game, buying MLS club Inter Miami in 2019.
      And this summer Beckham got his biggest breakthrough as club boss following the announcement Lionel Messi will sign for him.

      Ramsey said last month he would love to rejoin Cardiff one day after starting his career with the Bluebirds before leaving as a 17-year-old for Arsenal in 2008.
      The Championship club are keen on Ramsey but it is believed other clubs are interested in the 82-cap midfielder.
      SunSport understands Ramsey and Wales would like the ex-Juventus and Rangers star to continue to play at the highest level possible.
      But Ramsey has also cited his next move will centre around his family with his wife and three children settled in south Wales since he left Juve for Rangers in January 2022.

      Nice announced Francesco Farioli, 34, as their new manager last week and replaces Didier Digard, who was head coach from January.
      Ramsey is in his homeland at the moment and teased Bluebirds by keeping himself fit at the Vale of Glamorgan HQ – where both Cardiff and Wales are based.
      Cardiff, now managed by new boss Erol Bulut, are under an EFL embargo that prevents them from paying fees in transfers, but would be able to sign Ramsey given his free agent status.
      Bulut said: “I saw Ramsey play against Armenia. It was not a good game for the Welsh team.”

      When pressed about Cardiff’s interest in Ramsey, the Turkish boss, who saw his side beat TNS 3-1 in a friendly on Tuesday night, remained coy.
      Bulut added: “I don’t know about that (signing Ramsey) but quality players we want in the team.
      “We are still searching for players who are free in the market, so I hope in the following days we can do it [signing players] quickly.
      “I hope in the next week we can finalise a few transfers. We need more quality players in the attacking areas to create more chances and score goals. I know what we need.” More
