Premier League Transfers: 15 Most Successful January Signings
8. Clint Dempsey - New England Revolution To Fulham
Fee:£2 million, January 2006. January 2006 saw Fulham sign their top Premier League goal scorer ever for just £2 million in the shape of American import Clint Dempsey At the time the £2 million for Dempsey was the most ever paid for an MLS player and at the time would have been viewed as a risk. But Dempsey proved his worth with 50 Premier League goals in five years at the Cottage, which has guaranteed that he will remain a firm fixture in the clubs history. Dempsey was also voted Fulhams Player of the Year twice, and not only did he enjoy personal success at Fulham he also helped them reach the Europa League final in 2010, which they lost to Spanish club Atletico Madrid. The American eventually left Fulham in 2012 moving to Tottenham for £6 million earning Fulham a £4 million profit on him after his 50 league goals. Dempsey has since returned to Fulham on a short-term loan deal from Seattle Sounders to help the beleaguered Londoners in there
