"Premier" league mid-table clubs were strengthened by the safe Clint Dempsey of the US national team. He is already the third American in this team - Carlos Bocanegra and Brian McBride arrived at Fulham in 2004. C.Dempsey arrived from the MLS club "New England Revolution," where he played 71 matches and scored 25 goals in three years, representing the US national team 23 times and scoring 6 goals. The rising star, 23 years old, was named the best MLS rookie in 2004 and the best American footballer in 2006. The English will pay a compensation of 2 million euros to the Americans. Clint Dempsey was also strongly interested in Charlton, who wanted to sign him for 1.5 million euros in the summer, but Revolution rejected this offer. For Fulham, this addition is very significant, as the team is currently experiencing a safety crisis - Jimmy Bullard, Ahmed Elrich, and Simon Elliott are injured, Papa Bouba Diop has lost his form, and Luis Boa Morte could soon be sold to West Ham. The London club is also negotiating with another American - defender Oguchi Onyewu, who plays for Standard Liège."
