David Beckham launching underwear line?

David Beckham has reportedly inked a deal to launch his own underwear line.

According to Gossip Cop, the footballer will pursue his own brand after his contract with Emporio Armani's underwear campaign expires.

Beckham's wife Victoria has recently found success with a range of women's dresses, clothing and accessories.

The sports star has yet to comment on the reports, but the site claims that he plans to officially announce the new line very soon.

An insider added to the News of the World: "David is 35 and knows he won't be playing football forever. But he's an icon for men all over the world and he wears pants like no-one can - so [it] makes sense for him to launch his own."
