Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood has nonsensed claims that Arsene Wenger wants to sign Real Madrid midfielder David Beckham.
The England captain has been strongly linked with a move to North London after Wenger admitted his affection for the former Manchester United man's playing style and attitude.
However, it has been claimed that the comments were the result of a leading question at a press conference with Hill-Wood keen to dismiss the speculation.
"It is absolute nonsense," declared Hill-Wood to The Star.
"Beckham's name has never come up at boardroom level and I would be very surprised if Arsene is interested.
"I am sure he is looking around for players but for which position, I don't know at the moment.
"I don't think going for big names is Arsene's method. He will buy a young player he thinks is going to fit into his system.
"He's not interested in buying a star. We're playing good enough football to fill the new stadium anyway."
Many of the Beckham stories seem centred around the close proximity of the home he still owns to Arsenal's training ground, although a Premiership return cannot be ruled out for the midfielder in the summer, despite his willingness to sign a new deal at the Bernabeu.
It has also been rumoured that The Gunners want a high-profile signing to help mark their switch to a new stadium next season.
