After regaining his place in Roy Hodgson’s starting eleven back in November 2008, Clint Dempsey has become an integral part of the Whites’ attacking unit this season. The American international is clearly enjoying his Premier League experience with Fulham and believes his all round game has improved over the course of the 2008/09 campaign.
"I've morphed into a more of a complete footballer and someone who can get forward and back and is not a liability defensively,” he explained. “That was something that some thought was a weakness in my game but this year I've shown it's one of my strengths. I feel I'm more of a complete player, my passing and the tempo of my play has got better by taking less touches and being smarter.
"It's a great culture and awesome to be in a country where everybody is so passionate about a sport that you’re so passionate about. To be here and be around that atmosphere, playing in the Premier League, is a dream come true and I'm really enjoying it. I'm just trying to be the best player I can be.
"I just get my head down, work as hard as I can and keep my ears open to what I'm being asked to do as well as staying true to myself. It's been tough but it's made me a better, more complete player.”
