New QPR owner plans Beckham swoop

QPR's new owner Tony Fernandes is planning a swoop for David Beckham.
 
The Malaysian tycoon reckons it will help Becks' Olympic dream and wants him at Loftus Road as soon as his MLS season ends with LA Galaxy, according to 'The Sun'.
 
He believes the ex-England captain will be tempted by the promise of regular first-team football in the run-up to the London extravaganza.
 
Beckham, now 36, has made no secret of the fact he wants to play in the 2012 Games.
 
Fernandes knows Becks will not come cheap but believes shirt sales and other merchandising will more than cover the cost of bringing him to West London.
 
The player's Galaxy deal expires at the end of the season.

He has been offered a new one but, so far, has not committed himself.
 
A Rangers insider said: "Tony promised Neil Warnock plenty of support in the transfer market and proved that in the recent window.
 
"But bringing Beckham back to England next month would top the lot — and it's not a pipe-dream."
