The USA star could be on his way to Italy...

Fulham midfielder Clint Dempsey is said to be on the radar of Italian giants AC Milan, according to reports emanating from Italy.

Yahoo! Sports reports that the USA international, who was a star for the American team at the World Cup finals in South Africa, could head to Milan in the summer.

Dempsey had a marvellous season with Fulham in 2009-10, helping to guide his side to the Europa League final, which they lost to Atletico Madrid.

A Milan source close to the club board has been quoted by Yahoo! Sports as saying, "[Dempsey] brings a lot of action and energy but he can be creative too. There are some options on the table but Dempsey is a realistic one. A bid is very possible, and soon.”

However, a source close to Fulham said that no formal bid has come in from the Rossoneri but added, “[Fulham] are aware that if a club like [Milan] comes in it's hard for a player to say no."
