Seattle Sounders to sign Clint Dempsey from Tottenham Hotspur
After scoring 20 plus goals last season for Fulham, Clint Dempsey impressed many clubs around England and signed with Tottenham Hotspur. Clint Dempsey performed well and consistently, scoring 12 goals in 43 games. Dempsey was at the peak of his career, he was considered the most successful American soccer player abroad.
After the Spurs completed the transfer of the goal scoring threat, Roberto Soldado, Dempsey’s place on the team seemed to become less important. With the World Cup around the corner, every player is looking for as much playing time to be able to play at their best in a tournament that only happens every four years.Dempsey would mostly come off the bench had he elected to stay.
During the 2014 MLS season,Dempsey will be playing for the Seattle Sounders. His move was finalized on tuesday, although he is at the peak of his career it seems like the peak came too late, he is 30 years old now and may well be playing his last World Cup next year. Hopefully Dempsey is able to play well consistently and get the call up to represent his country.
