Brentford make decision on Romeo Beckham after David Beckham’s son’s transfer spell with Premier League club
BRENTFORD want to keep Romeo Beckham beyond the end of this season, according to reports.
The 20-year-old has spent the second half of this term on loan with the Bees from his dad David’s MLS franchise Inter Miami.
Romeo has played for Brentford’s B Team since making the switch to West London.
According to the Telegraph, he impressed enough for the Bees to want to keep him for next season.
He could join on another 12-month loan with an option to buy.
Alternatively, he may decide to return to America.
The right winger is yet to play for Inter Miami’s first team, but was previously a regular for their reserves.
He has made 26 appearances for Inter Miami II to date, scoring twice and laying on ten assists.
Beckham has been a hit for Brentford B, even scoring a dramatic winner against Wealdstone in the Middlesex Senior Challenge Cup.
On Romeo’s time in West London, director of football Phil Giles told The High Performance Podcast: “We brought Romeo in on a loan from Inter Miami for our B team and it was one of the most read stories that day on the website.

“It wasn’t a PR stunt in any way.
“The thought that went into Romeo is that we have relationships in football, he was looking for places to train in England as he’s an Inter Miami player.
“We said of course but still didn’t look past the process of, is he going to add to that environment as a player?
“Had he come in and been like, ‘I’m a Beckham,’ that would have been a disaster for us. The character has to be correct.
“He’s a humble guy, good work ethic, good mindset, wants to work extra hours on the training ground and sometimes has to be held back from that.”
