David Beckham wants his children to live in America for years to come so his four children can grow up normally.

The soccer player – who has three sons Brooklyn, 13, Romeo, nine, Cruz, seven, plus a daughter, Harper Seven, almost one – believe they would be able to enjoy their childhood more in the United States.

He said: "The kids are a number one priority and for the last five years they have been ­incredibly happy here.

"They go to school and are treated like normal kids, whereas maybe in Europe it’s been different for us.

Speaking at a lunch honouring the legends of his LA Galaxy team, he added: "The attention we had there as a family and on our kids was a lot more intense."

"For the kids to be brought up around this atmosphere and this way of living is the most important thing."

The 37-year-old sportsman and his 38-year-old fashion designer wife Victoria Beckham, had previously enjoyed a spell living in Spain when he played for football team Real Madrid.

The former Spice Girls member recently jetted to London to launch the a musical theatre production based on the female group.
