    The footballer is relieved to have signed a two-year contract with LA Galaxy

    David Beckham has admitted that he finds Harper's designer wardrobe 'ridiculous' and that he's relieved to have signed a new two-year contract with LA Galaxy so that he can keep his daughter in expensive togs.

    Speaking during a fan chat for Google+, David joked that his well paid job meant that Victoria Beckham could carry on dressing Harper in high-end threads.

    The 36-year-old footballer, who is also father to Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, nine, and six-year-old Cruz, was happy to talk about his baby girl and revealed that he's still in shock at having a daughter.

    He said: 'I've obviously got three amazing boys and with boys you can throw them around and Harper is obviously my first girl and I'm more careful. Still now, I'm changing her diaper and I can't believe I've got a girl.

    'Everything about her is feminine, the way she eats, the way she moves, the way she looks. I love having a girl, but I'm glad she's got three older brothers and a dad to look after her.'

    Becks turned down a lucrative offer from French team Paris Saint Germain to stay at LA Galaxy and he said he made the decision for his family.

    'I didn't take it lightly as I had offers from other clubs around the world and at 36 you don't expect it. But it was best for my family. We love living in LA at the moment, we love living in America and we have adapted to the culture and at the moment we didn't want to leave,' he said.
