Beckham's spokesman Jeff Raymond has confirmed the couple have purchased the house which they plan to move to once he leaves Real Madrid.

The former England captain will head to Los Angeles with his family in the summer after four years with nine-times European champions Real Madrid.

Major League Soccer bosses hope Beckham and his iconic status will help revolutionise the sport in the US.

The 32-year-old midfielder has put pen to paper for LA Galaxy to a record-breaking five-year deal which could be worth £125 million.
