Dempsey celebrates one of his many goals for Fulham

Former Fulham and Tottenham goalscoring midfielder Clint Dempsey began his career in the MLS with New England Revolution back in 2004, spending three years there before opting for a switch abroad.

Fulham offered $4m in December 2006 - then the highest transfer fee offered for an MLS player - one which proved too much to ignore. During his five-year spell in west London, he was twice voted the club's player of the season and impressed enough to justify London rivals Tottenham spending £6.75m for him in 2012.

Despite this though, he failed to make a significant impact at Spurs and returned to the MLS, joining Seattle Sounders a season afterwards.

Despite spending a few months on-loan with former side Fulham, he still plies his trade at the club now. During his time in the Premier League, he scored 57 goals - making him the second highest North American goalscorer in history across the top-flight.
