Becks to Blackburn? Potential new owner after star

Blackburn's potential new owner Ahsan Ali Syed has set his sights on signing former England captain David Beckham. Rovers are in talks with Syed over a proposed £300million takeover, with the Indian businessman pledging an initial £80-100million for new players. Beckham, who is currently contracted with MLS club LA Galaxy, has been repeatedly linked with a return to the Premier League. And Bahrain-based lawyer Syed feels the 35-year-old, who has not played for an English club since his Manchester United exit seven years ago, would be a perfect fit at Ewood Park. Positive "I was 26 when I started following the Premier League. I used to like Blackburn back then and also used to follow Manchester United's fortunes because of David Beckham," he told the Daily Mail.
