---

London, England (Sports Network) - David Beckham began preparing for the 2008 Major League Soccer season by joining English Premier League power Arsenal for training on Friday at the club's training headquarters.

The Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder has no plans to play competitively for Arsenal.

"He wants to be fit when he's moving to L.A. in February so, in January, we give him assistance to work on his fitness," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told the AP.
