Fulham star Clint Dempsey will not rush any decision on his future as he continues to be linked with the Premier League's most celebrated clubs.

Dempsey, 29, took his tally for the season to 21 at the weekend, notching twice in Fulham's impressive 3-0 victory away to Bolton Wanderers.

The United States international is out of contract in 2013 and has opened discussions with Fulham regarding a new deal - but there is no guarantee he will stay at the club, and the vultures are circling, with Liverpool reportedly interested.

For now Dempsey, who has expressed a desire to play Champions League football, insists it is critical he maintains his form until the end of the season.

Dempsey said: "We will see what happens. It is one of my best memories of being at Fulham, this season, and I have one more to go. I am talking with the club but we will have to see what happens in the summer.

"I want to focus on this season and my football and other stuff can take care of itself after the season."
