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."

Former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder Beckham is set to make his debut in Italy's top flight on Sunday at Roma.
