Romeo Beckham has sparked belief he could soon make a debut for Brentford in the Premier League after signing for the club's B team.
Earlier this year Brentford signed David Beckham's second oldest child from Inter Miami on loan until the end of the season to play for the seconds.
The 20-year-old's parent club was literally his parent's club but it hasn't stopped Beckham senior selling his son to the west Londoners on a permanent deal.
It was no surprise the English club wanted to make the deal longer term after he impressed by scoring a last minute winner off the bench to grab his first goal for them.

Romeo even helped the team win silverware in the Premier League Cup though his dad wasn't actually able to go to the match to watch.
Former Manchester United star David then denied his son the chance to play or train with Lionel Messi, selling him to Brentford before Messi signed for Miami.
But it could all be for a good cause with the younger of the Becks men posting pictures of Brentford's kit launch for the upcoming season.
Beckham features pretty centrally in the shots, perhaps providing a hint that he could soon be part of the first team at the Gtech Community Stadium.
He played for the B team 15 times last season but interestingly the pictures that were posted feature him in the first team kit.
There's no change in the design but the Premier League side are sponsored by Hollywood Bets whereas their B team have PensionBee on the academy and women's team shirts.
The sponsorship by a betting company has been thrown into focus due to the issues with Ivan Toney, who is currently serving an eight month ban for gambling.
Toney's suspension was only lowered because he was diagnosed with having a gambling problem but will be promoting gambling when he returns.
Brentford's new kit will be used for the next two seasons, with the club saying: "This launch of the new two-year home kit for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons underlines our commitment to affordability, inclusion and a shared responsibility of taking another small step towards a more environmentally conscious future."
It remains to be seen how much fans will get to see Beckham in it, but there's a chance...
