Romeo Beckham joins Brentford on loan from Inter Miami after January transfer window opens

Romeo Beckham has joined Brentford on loan for the rest of the season.

The son of England great David Beckham, Romeo is under contract to Inter Miami II, but has been training with Brentford in recent weeks.

With the January transfer window now open, a deal has been struck to make him a Brentford player – subject to international clearance.

Should the transfer get the green light, Beckham will spent the next few months under the guidance of Neil MacFarlane with the club’s B team.

“He came to us from Inter Miami with the aim of working with us during their close season. Romeo has applied himself unbelievably well, he’s really bought into the culture and the group which he has become a big part of.

“I love his standards and the way he conducts himself on and off the pitch.

“He’s been able to get fitter and fitter during his time with us and it leaves him in a good place to now step forward having joined us on loan.

“He is very technical, and he is somebody who can shift the ball quickly and cross.

“He is also a really good finisher and he has the ability to play a number of positions for us, which is also pleasing.”

Beckham started his footballing career at Arsenal’s academy but left as a 13-year-old.

He is looking forward to testing his skills in England again.

“I’m very proud and very happy to be here,” the 20-year-old forward said. “I came here at the start to keep fit during the off season. The chance then came to come on loan here and I’ve never been so excited.

“It was a fun season [in the USA] and there were a lot of ups and downs but I’m excited to come here and see what I can do.

“They’ve [MacFarlane and assistant coach Sam Saunders] helped me massively over the last couple of months and I’m excited to see what else they can help me with to really progress in football.

“If you look at Brentford as a club, it’s very positive and it’s a club that is on the rise very quickly. I’m very grateful to be here.”
