Fulham boss Martin Jol insists Clint Dempsey is not going anywhere.

Dempsey's form has seen him attract reported interest from other clubs but Jol insists he does not expect him to leave Crave Cottage anytime soon.

"You don't have to hang on to players when they have longer-term contracts," he said. "You only try to hold onto players who contracts have finished and then try to do something.

"With Clint there is no issue as he has two years to go.

"We certainly are not encouraging bids because we want to keep what we have got."
