Fulham have denied claims they've sold Clint Dempsey to Liverpool.

A story on the website of Fenway Sports Group, the Reds' owners, claimed the club had "added Clint Dempsey to a team that came within a game of winning the FA Cup".

Liverpool lost to Chelsea in last season's FA Cup final.

But a Fulham spokesperson told the BBC: "It is totally not true. We have not received any bids."

The website is the official homepage of Fenway Sports Group and hosted by sports network company NESN.com, who posted the original story at 05:44 BST.

This report was removed five hours after its original uploading on Wednesday morning.
