Carlos Bocanegra says USA teammate Clint Dempsey will make a big impact at Fulham next season.

"He came in and was working really hard the whole time," Bocanegra said of Dempsey's Craven Cottage arrival to LA Soccer News. "His attitude was great.

"He wasn't playing and obviously it's frustrating coming from MLS where he is a superstar and going over there and not playing very much."

"I think it's kind of a humbling experience, but you kind of have to go through the process to see how it is," continued the Californian. "He kept his head up and kept working hard in training and it ended up paying off for him with that huge goal against Liverpool.

"When he got a shot, he did well and he will be playing more and more next year."
