West Ham honoured with Beckham link

West Ham chairman Eggert Magnusson says the club is honoured to be mentioned as a possible buyer for Real Madrid's unsettled midfielder David Beckham.

"The way he has played at Manchester United and Real Madrid, he is a great player, and it's an honour he has been linked to West Ham," said Magnusson on BBC Radio 5 Live's Sportsweek programme.
"I might be the incoming chairman at West Ham, but the manager is the one who changes the team.
"It's his responsibility to build that team. You just can't build a football team with superstars."
That leaves a huge question-mark over the futures of Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez.
The Argentinian duo were surprisingly signed on transfer deadline day from Corinthians, yet their contracts are owned by a third party.
"That's another discussion I'll have with the manager this week," said Magnusson.
"We will try to sort out the situation with them, but it's not easy to come to England when you don't speak the language.
"It's a totally different mentality, but it's up to the manager. He has to decide what to do with them.
"But they have the ability to succeed in England. We will tackle the problem."
