Stoke boss Tony Pulis has ruled out bringing David Beckham to the Britannia Stadium on loan when the transfer window opens next week.

Former England captain Beckham, currently signed with United States side LA Galaxy, has been linked with a loan return to the Premier League in January, with Stoke reported to be among the clubs targeting his signature.

But while Pulis would like to see the 35-year-old midfielder return to England, he insists it will not be with the Potters.

Pulis told Sky Sports News: "No I think we'll give David a miss."
