Dempsey on the Move?

In a late-night story, Goal.com is reporting Clint Dempsey (US midfielder) has rejected a contract extension from his club team Fulham. Rumors are swirling that 2009 FA Cup runner up Everton is set to offer Fulham around £4 million for his services paying Dempsey up to £67,000 per week.

With Dempsey's stature on the rise after his stellar performance in the Confederations Cup, he would join an already dangerous Everton squad led by fellow American teammate, goalkeeper Tim Howard. This combo would be a welcome sight to American soccer fans who would be able to watch two of our best players competing for the same side.

Everton finished 5th this past season in the English Premiership. The possibility of acquiring Dempsey shows Everton looks to challenge the usuals in the top four next season - Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal.
