ANOTHER DB SIGNS

Last updated : 02 July 2003 By Editor

David Beckham has passed his medical and is now a Real Madrid player.

Real doctor Alfonso del Corral said after the medical, which was sponsored by a private medical company:

'David is physically very strong and there is nothing to stop him playing top level football,' said del Corral. 'The medical is in two parts, the first one organised here and we will carry out the second one once he joins the club at the start of pre-season.

'The test is to rule out any major problems that could stop him signing. He has had no big injuries in his career apart from his broken metatarsal, which is fine and the wrist injury he got at the end of last season which is almost cured.

'He is in perfect condition to play football for Real Madrid.'

DB obviously loved all the attention and expressed his delight saying:

"I can't wait to get started."
