Soccer star David will take wife Victoria and their four children back to Europe, with big-spending French club Paris Saint-Germain confirming that the former England captain has passed a medical and signed a short-term deal ahead of Thursday's transfer deadline.
The 37-year-old was later unveiled at a press conference, ending speculation about his next destination following the end of his six-year spell with U.S. MLS team Los Angeles Galaxy in early December.
Beckham said he will donate the wages earned during his five-month contract to a children's charity in Paris.
"It's something exciting and something I'm not sure has been done before," he told reporters, and revealed that his family will be based in his hometown London.

He had been linked with a host of clubs around the world but, in the twilight of his career, has decided to join a team on the rise thanks to the injection of hundreds of millions of dollars by its Qatari owners.
Beckham admitted it might take "a few weeks" to get fully fit. "It won't take long," he said.
He explained that he could not play for another club in England except Manchester United, where he won six Premier League titles and the Champions League before moving to Spain in 2003.
"It's the team I support and the team I dreamed of playing for," said Beckham, who to Manchester as a teenager and progressed through the club's academy. "I'm very honored by the offers I had from other Premier League clubs but I didn't want to play there unless it was for Manchester United."
