Sure Fulham is floundering dangerously close to the relegation zone (as usual) but apparently, you won't see them selling off American star Clint Dempsey anytime soon according to manager Mark Hughes.
The 27-year-old forward and midfielder from Texas is Fulham's top scorer this season with six goals, including five in the Premier League.
"I'm sure there is interest in Clint. Most good players are mentioned at some point in time leading into a window,'' Hughes said. "There's been no contact from any clubs for Clint or any other player nor would we encourage it because Clint's very happy here, is enjoying his football and is having an impact for us.
"If there are any inquiries about Clint, they'll be getting short shrift.''
As we always say regarding our U.S. men's national team players, all we care about is seeing them play at the highest level possible. The absolute worst case scenario here is that Fulham gets relegated. In that case, Dempsey would probably be sold since they'd be gushing money at that point.
Hopefully that nightmare doesn't happen, Fulham will probably do what they usually do: get hot later in the season and finish up above relegation. They had a scoreless draw with Sunderland this morning.
