The Clint Dempsey Phenomenon

Fulham's goal machine Clint Dempsey is 'hot property' in the Premier League with all the top clubs racing for his signature. Arsenal, Tottenham and Man Utd are leading the pack with Fulham fighting hard to hold on to the United States international.

Dempsey has scored 16 goals in 33 appearances this season. The 29-year old is the longest serving member of the Fulham squad along with Simon Davies. Dempsey joined Fulham in 2007 from MLS team New England Revolution for just £2 million.
