Work has started already and Becks is in talks with Netflix and Amazon over the rights.

An insider said: “It’s something David is excited about and has wanted to do for a while. The film will feature new content and archive footage.

“It’s going to be about David’s life post-football, especially the creation of his new team in Miami, but will have some personal content too.
