Kyle Walker picked the no. 32 shirt at AC Milan after completing his six-month loan move from Manchester City on Friday.
Beckham made 33 appearances for the Serie A giants, scoring twice, when he joined the club twice on loan from LA Galaxy.
Speaking to the reporters after penning his contract, Walker: “Tammy (Abraham) told me I should come. He helped me make a decision.
“The Milan fans here are incredible, hearing them sing, it will be emotional.
“I chose number 32 for David Beckham.”
Walker has already penned an emotional farewell message to City, their fans, and his family and wife, Annie Kilner.
The 34-year-old joins Milan on an initial six-month loan, with the Serie A side having the option to buy him permanently this summer.
Walker requested to leave the Premier League earlier in January.
His last appearance for City came in the 4-1 home win over West Ham at the start of the month.
