15-Year-Old Beckham Junior Will Be An Arsenal Player Soon
Like father, like son.
A Beckham is making his way back into football and it's not David. Instead, Brooklyn Beckham will be donning a football jersey soon after reportedly signing for Arsenal.
David Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn has reportedly been signed to a short-term deal by Arsenal. The 15-year-old went on trial with the Gunners and after impressing the coaches at the Emirates has signed a deal until the end of the season, according to the Daily Star.

The Daily Star is reporting that Brooklyn snubbed offers from United and Chelsea to sign with Arsenal, leaving David's former club in the cold. It's not entirely surprising, however, that the 15-year-old picked the Gunners.
sbnation.comDavid Beckham's eldest son has been training with Arsenal, who are already plotting an improved longer-term deal if he 'continues to shine' with his performances in the coming year. The paper also reports that, as a result of accepting Arsenal's offer, Brooklyn has effectively snubbed other deals on the table from Chelsea and Manchester United.

The Beckham kids have been part of Arsenal for years, with 12-year-old Romeo currently playing for their under-13 team and nine-year-old Cruz on the under-10 squad. The kids have also attended their fair share of Arsenal matches with David -- the club is in London and David is friends with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger. "Arsenal realize he can be a huge talent," an Arsenal source told the Star. "They have seen that potential and protected their asset.
sbnation.comAn unnamed Arsenal source told the paper: "Brooklyn is talented and he has stood out in all of the training sessions and games he has played. He has had other teams sniffing around and it was always going to be a case of when, not if, he was signed up by a big-name club. Arsenal realise he can be a huge talent. They have seen that potential and protected their asset. The club has signed him, fending off interest from Manchester United and Chelsea in the meantime."
espnfc.comIf things don't work out for Brooklyn, father David still has two more chances to see one of his sons follow in his footsteps. Younger brothers Romeo and Cruz, aged 12 and nine respectively, have also been training with Arsenal's appropriate youth teams. Beckham Snr trained with Arsenal in January last year prior to joining Paris St Germain, the club that would turn out to be his last before retirement last summer.
