Clint Dempsey Could Join Liverpool If Adam and Spearing Exit Reds: The Nightly EPL

The links are tenuous, but Liverpool Echo reporter James Pearce tweeted tonight that if Charlie Adam and Jay Spearing are sold to Stoke City and Bolton respectively, this will allow Liverpool FC to finally sign Fulham attacking midfielder Clint Dempsey. There’s a lot of ‘if this then that’ tied to the story, so we’re not basing it on a lot of fact, but if Adam and Spearing are sold, it certainly increases the chances of Dempsey going to Anfield.

It should be a very interesting next 48 hours to say the least.
