USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann admits he's discussed regularly with Clint Dempsey the prospect of him leaving Fulham.

Former Inter Milan and Spurs striker Klinsmann said Dempsey's club situation had been a topic of discussion over the past season.

"We haven't talked about it yet (this week) - but before on the phone, following up his Premier League games we discussed different ways of approaching things," said the German.
