He has scored 14 goals in 81 Premier League games and was Fulham's joint top scorer last season with seven goals.

During the campaign he started 28 Premier League games and came on as a substitute in another seven.

Dempsey has won 57 caps since making his international debut for the United States in 2004 and scored against Ghana in the 2006 World Cup.
