New Delhi: England coach Fabio Capello believes David Beckham is no playboy and he insists AC Milan will have made a great move if they land him.

The former Rossoneri coach is keeping close tabs on the midfielder's progress and reports in both England and Italy suggested Capello had a hand in helping Becks choose the Italian side.

Capello is full of praise for Beckham and he insists the player is not one of those playboy type players.

"Beckham is a serious guy, he is no playboy," Capello told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

"He is a very serious lad and he has his head on his shoulders. He is not a playboy off the pitch which is what some people think.

"If Milan take him on then it will be great for them. Beckham is a professional and those who have certain imaginations of him off the pitch are wrong as none of it is true."

The San Siro-based club is currently locked in talks with the player's representatives who arrived in Milan on Thursday, and they are trying to find an agreement on the deal which will see the Englishman wear the red and black jersey.
