More speculation over the future of former Fulham star Dempsey
Stoke City have joined Fulham in the apparent race to sign Tottenham’s Clint Dempsey on loan, the Sunday Mirror say.
The former Whites star, 30, left Tottenham to join Seattle Sounders during the summer and has been tipped to make a short-term return to the Premier League.
Spurs have first option on Dempsey but are believed to have decided not to bring him back to White Hart Lane.
Everton and West Ham are reported to be keen on him and it is claimed that Stoke are now also showing an interest.
Dempsey played under Mark Hughes at Fulham when the Potters boss was in charge at Craven Cottage.
The People also say Whites boss Martin Jol faces the sack in the wake of Saturday’s 3-0 defeat against West Ham at Upton Park.
