Clint move would make Reds boss Rodgers’ day

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has admitted the club have made enquiries about the availability of Fulham forward Clint Dempsey.

Speculation has been rife this summer that the 29-year-old is set to link up with the Reds, which was fuelled yesterday by a report on the club owner’s official website that suggested a deal was complete.

An article linked to the Fenway Sports Group (FSG) home page, www.fenwaysportsgroup.com, said Liverpool had “added Clint Dempsey to a team that came within a game of winning the FA Cup”.
