Former England captain David Beckham on Thursday signed for ambitious French league leaders Paris Saint-Germain on a five-month contract which will see him donate his entire salary to a children's charity.

The 37-year-old midfielder -- one of the world's most recognisable sportsmen with a pop star wife and an estimated net worth of 190 million pounds -- has been without a club since leaving Los Angeles Galaxy last year.

Father-of-four Beckham, whose family will remain in London, revealed that he would donate his salary during his time in the French capital to a local children's charity.

"That's one of the things that we're very excited about, to be able to give a huge sum to a children's charity in Paris. It's special," he said.
