Former England captain David Beckham said through a BBC radio interview on Monday that he may seek a Premiership return to keep his World Cup hope alive.
The 34-year-old soccer icon, who is under a five-year deal with LA Galaxy of the United States' Major Soccer League, managed to spend five months on loan with Serie A's AC Milan last year.
The American season shuts down between November and March, and Beckham told BBC that he has several options for a return to the English Premier League.
"Everyone knows I will be planning to come back to Europe," he said. "I don't know (if it will be in England), there are a few options, put it that way."
"I have had an incredible career so far...But if we reach another World Cup and I play some part, it will be up there with all the other achievements I've had in my career," added the former Manchester United striker.
