Eriksson hopes that he can tempt the 36-year-old with a combined coaching role. Beckham’s current contract with LA Galaxy is set to expire later this year and he has recently been strongly linked with a return to Europe.
“We will give him a whistle and he can go out [on the training pitch] straight away,” Eriksson told The Times.
“I have already had that discussion with him. I spoke to him about Leicester.
“Beckham, he will never say no to me – he says, ‘Sven, we’ll see, we’ll see’.”
French side Paris St Germain are also reportedly interested in the highly-rated midfielder.
Eriksson added: “The big thing is what he wants to do when his contract finishes in LA. Will he want to go on playing?”
