Could Roy Hodgson be linking up with Clint Dempsey again?

By (dead tired) Chi Huynh, from Los Angeles

Several news outlets are rehashing the rumour that Fulham’s utility forward & winger, Clint Dempsey, may be preparing for a transfer to Merseyside. The transfer would reunite Dempsey with his former Fulham boss, Roy Hodgson.

The rumour connects Deuce with the sum of 10-million pounds.

Although Liverpool are stacked with fowards, injuries to both Torres and Kuyt this season have seen a depleted goal-scoring frontline. Hodgson’s move for Dempsey could be a good choice in some eyes. But is it a good idea is the question. With Monday night’s beautiful showing of David N’Gog and barely used Ryan Babel against Villa, Hodgson may not need to add another striker/winger to the line-up but rather look to his bench for more inspiration.

The other factor to look at is whether or not Mark Hughes is willing to part with his best player. Dempsey has scored 5 goals in Premier League play this season as it stands, and with the Cottagers standing just outside of the relegation zone, Hughes may want to hold onto Dempsey as his only saviour.
