David Beckham joins Paris St-Germain and will play for free

David Beckham has joined French Ligue 1 side Paris St-Germain and announced he will be playing for free.

The ex-England midfielder, 37, signed a five-month deal and said he would be donating his salary to charity.
"I'm excited, it's something we've been working on and talking about for quite a while," he said on Thursday.

 "I won't receive any salary. My salary will go to a local children's charity. That's one of the things we are excited and proud to do.

He added: "It's something the guys [PSG management] do, but obviously it's a very good figure. That's one thing we're very excited about. To be able to give a huge sum to a children's charity in Paris is very special."
