David Beckham looks set to buy a Major League Soccer team in America, after choosing Miami as a potential base.

A deal is still to be agreed but it's understood Beckham is edging closer to the $25million (£15.5million) purchase.

The Major League Soccer currently has 19 teams, but hopes to expand to 24 by 2020.

The former England captain finished his playing career with Paris Saint Germain and retired from professional football in May this year.

    A young boy stands to the left of the image in front of a yellow background. He is holding a pink and blue ice lolly in one hand and a stethoscope in the other. The stethoscope earpieces are in his ears. He has auburn curly hair piled on top of his head and he is wearing blue/green scrubs with a dark green long-sleeved top underneath. There are surgery lights in the corner of the image and on the right are the words Dexter Procter in the same colour as the scrubs and then the 10 year-old-doctor is written underneath in between heart monitor lines
