AND NOW DEMPS

Fulham midfielder Clint Dempsey could leave Craven Cottage this summer, according to his agent.

The USA international midfielder had an excellent 2009-10 campaign with Premier League outfit Fulham, helping the Cottagers reach the Europa League final. He also led the US to the last-16 in the ongoing World Cup finals in South Africa.

Dempsey's agent, Lyle Yorks, has now hinted that the 27-year-old could be tempted to try his luck at a bigger club.

"We don't have an offer from Napoli," Yorks told the Major League Soccer website. "There is a lot of interest from big clubs in Europe in Clint. And now you've got Roy Hodgson leaving for Liverpool... so there's a lot of different things going on."

Yorks also revealed that there was interest from outside of England.

"We've got in Italy a major club and in France a major club. And in the Bundesliga a club. We'll be sorting through them in the coming weeks and also seeing what happens at Fulham.

"There's direct contact and discussions, but first they'd have to agree with Fulham."
