David Beckham's son tries out for top football team

Sports star David Beckham's eldest son appears to be following in his dad's footsteps after undergoing a trial session with a top London football team on Tuesday.

Brooklyn Beckham was at Chelsea Football Club's training grounds in Cobham to play in an Under-14s game, designed to scout stand-out young players.

Speculation is rife that the 13 year old, who was accompanied by his dad, is in line for a career in professional football.

Former England captain David quit the Los Angeles Galaxy club in December, and has yet to join another team.

Last year, the father-of-four discussed the difficulties his kids face entering into the sports world, telling The Times, "They've got a great life set up for them. Obviously our boys and little girl are very lucky. But I think, as a parent, you always worry: 'Have they got the hunger that I had as a kid?' I'm as hard on my boys as my dad was (on me). They always ask, 'Did I play well?' I'll say, 'You did alright, could have done better.'"
