Romeo Beckham set to make debut for Brentford’s B-team

Romeo Beckham has been training with the Premier League side.

Romeo Beckham is reportedly in line to make his debut for Brentford's B-team this weekend. Beckham, who currently plays for Inter Miami (the side co-owned by his father, David) has made the shock move to the Premier League side to further his development. Brentford confirmed that they would be playing League Two outfit Crewe Alexandra in a friendly behind closed doors, with The Mirror claiming that Beckham could be one of those involved. https://twitter.com/BrentfordFC/status/1579486926159200257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1579486926159200257%7Ctwgr%5Eec4b9b2ad80926b0ff5d19604dadd646a2084e6e%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fsport%2Fsportsnews%2Farticle-11301999%2FRomeo-Beckham-set-make-debut-Brentfords-B-team-closed-doors-friendly.html The youngster was previously part of the Arsenal academy alongside his brothers Brooklyn and Cruz but was released in 2014, leading to him seeking other opportunities elsewhere. Despite initially looking to pursue a professional career in tennis, Romeo, 20, returned to football in 2020 and signed a professional contract with Inter Miami in September of that year. Beckham made his mark with the club's reserve side, Fort Lauderdale, with three assists in one game playing on the right-hand side, the same position his dad lined up in his playing days. Romeo made 26 appearances for Inter's second team last season, scoring twice and in a recent Instagram post, reflected on his campaign. He wrote: "First full season was full of ups and downs. "Not the ending we as a team wanted but only lessons learned to take into next year. Love this team and the journey we are on." https://www.instagram.com/p/Ciu4NvbDRQ0/?hl=en Earlier this summer he also made his senior debut in a 6-0 friendly defeat to Barcelona. Inter boss Phil Neville was later forced to defend the decision to include Romeo and his own son, Harvey Neville, in the squad. He said: "I think we put the two boys on at wing-back and the first thing you measure is temperament. Have they got the temperament to play in this game? I think both of them did. "I was super proud of them both. Romeo only got on for the last five or six minutes, which is difficult, but they'd earned the right to get on." Related links.
