USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann has backed Clint Dempsey's move to Fulham.
The Seattle Sounders striker has joined the Cottagers on a short-term loan.
Klinsmann remarked: "Obviously, we are pleased with Clint Dempsey, our captain, making the jump for two months to Fulham to get games in now. He had a very difficult couple of months because of injury and the transition back into MLS.
"I think it's a great decision from Clint to start off the year in the right way going on loan for two months to Fulham, his old team. They need him to get them back up in the table of the league, and he will come already in good shape back into MLS. That is great!"
