A media frenzy has accompanied Beckham's arrival on a three-month loan at Milan from MLS side LA Galaxy.

"I am really curious about David's arrival in Italy," the currently injured Totti said.

"He is an icon. I am delighted he has chosen to play in our league, even if it will be for a short spell.

"Beckham is a lad I like a lot, just as I like his wife.

"They are two beautiful people to see.

"Many will envy them."
