Dempsey wanted by Sunderland as Liverpool hesitate – reports

By

Sunderland manager Martin O’Neill is keen to capture Clint Dempsey if Liverpool continue to hesitate over signing him, the Daily Mirror say.

Fulham star Dempsey wants to move to Anfield, but Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is yet to follow up his apparent interest with a firm bid.

It is claimed that O’Neill will try to persuade the American to move to the Stadium of Light and hopes to speak to him this week.

The Daily Mail also suggest Sunderland want Dempsey – and say Fulham are considering signing former Arsenal striker Eduardo from Shakhtar Donetsk as well as Brescia’s Omar El Kaddouri.

According to the Mail, QPR are interested in Tottenham defender Michael Dawson and expect Joey Barton to join Marseille on loan later this week.
