Fulham star Clint Dempsey will sign a new four-year £35,000-a-week deal at Fulham this week.
The USA international midfielder, 26, was one of the Premier League's most improved players last season.
Boss Roy Hodgson has been quick to recognise his progress and will tie down the winger at Craven Cottage until 2013.
Dempsey shone on the wing during Fulham's impressive season where they qualified for the Europa League.
He had also been linked with a number of clubs at the top end of the Premier League.
