Podcast: Clint Demspey's rise with Fulham has the American poised to make a move this summer
This week's edition of the Yahoo! Soccer Podcast, in conjunction with World Football Daily, focuses on the continuing rise of United States national team star Clint Dempsey, whose superb season in the English Premier League has seen him linked with a high-profile move to a bigger club.
Dempsey has been outstanding for Fulham, racking up 16 goals in league play and becoming the West London club's talisman with his no-nonsense, physical approach.
Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Manchester City are all reported to be interested in Dempsey and it appears increasingly likely that he will move on this summer.
In this week's podcast I speak to three experts to discuss where Dempsey may, and should, end up at the start of the 2012-13 campaign and analyze the impact he has made since leaving Major League Soccer five years ago.

USA national team legend Cobi Jones is first up, as he breaks down whether it is Dempsey or Landon Donovan who should now be considered as this country's finest player.
Next, Jen Chang of Sports Illustrated takes a look at the potential suitors for Dempsey's services, and considers whether a transfer is even in his best interests.
Finally, London-based sports writer Dean Jones of the Sunday People, an expert on all things Fulham, discusses Dempsey's evolution as a player and looks at why he has improved every season since joining the EPL.
The show concludes with World Football Daily guest host Oliver "Juice" Wilson and I going to-and-fro on soccer's hot current topics, before predicting the weekend's biggest games.
