Football star David Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn Beckham is reportedly training with Queens Park Rangers (QPR) following David's retirement.

Brooklyn, 14, had started playing at Tottenham HotSpurs when he was as young as four, spent time with the Under 14 team at LA Galaxy and will join David in training at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the Mirror reports.

QPR that has recently been relegated from the Premier League confirmed that the 14-year-old has not joined the under 14 academy in official capacity and later posted on Twitter that the teenager is only training with the club.

According to the report, David takes pride at his son's soccer skills.

The England skipper had said in 2006 that Brooklyn, who was only seven-year-old at the time is the most amazing footballer, whose football prowess is beyond his age, adding that he wants to see his son play for England.

Brooklyn has also participated in an under-14 session at the Premier League club's state-of-the-art training ground, the report added.
