David Beckham has completed a move to Paris St Germain.

England manager Roy Hodgson believes the move to PSG is "fantastic" for Beckham. "David is a footballing icon, not only in this country but all over the world," he said. "He is one of the most recognisable footballers anywhere. "We are perfectly aware of who he is, what he is and what he has done. All I can do is wish him all the best. "Let's hope he can be as big a success at PSG as he has been everywhere else." France boss Didier Deschamps believes Beckham's arrival will provide a welcome boost for the profile of Ligue 1. "He's a personality who goes beyond football, like Zlatan Ibrahimovic maybe. They are players who beyond our frontiers give an important visibility to Ligue 1. "But I won't judge it on a sporting perspective. I'm not the coach, general manager or owner of Paris St Germain. They've made their choice with David Beckham. He's a world football personality."
