Tottenham forward Clint Dempsey is close to joining Major League Soccer side Seattle Sounders in his native United States.
The 30-year-old only joined Spurs last summer in a £6m move from Fulham and is expected to depart for a similar fee.
The US international's switch could be confirmed in the next 48 hours.
Dempsey, who has 99 caps, left New England Revolution in his homeland to join Fulham in January 2007.
He scored 50 goals in 184 league appearances for the Cottagers before Spurs beat Liverpool and Aston Villa to his signature.
Dempsey played 43 times for the White Hart Lane club, scoring 12 goals.
The Sounders went into the weekend's games seventh in the Western Conference of the MLS and have former Fulham players Marcus Hahnemann and Eddie Johnson in their squad.
