The English football star David Beckham will join AC Milan on loan from Los Angeles Galaxy in January after the deal was sealed between his lawyers and the Serie A club.

Beckham will start his stint on January the 7th, but no details have been given for how long he will be there.

Since news of the proposed deal broke this month, Beckham, Galaxy and US Major League Soccer all said he would return to Los Angeles for the start of the new season in late March.

The 33-year-old wants to join Milan to keep up his fitness during the United States close season and stay in contention for an England squad place.

Beckham is still scheduled to play a match for the LA Galaxy against an Oceania XI in Auckland on December the 6th.
