Dempsey is relishing the chance of having more time in the number 10 role and wants to add more goals to his game, something he is excited at the prospect of in the squad which has been assembled.
He said: "I’ve always played sort of the eight up to the 10. I like to receive the ball around the halfway line and drive with the ball and bring everyone else into play.
"To be honest I enjoy the number 10, especially in the way this team plays. I’m going to be receiving the ball a lot more and getting in dangerous positions. That’s where I like to execute, from the edge of the box, with the goals and assists I had last year.
