Fulham midfielder Clint Demspey has been fined by the club for refusing to play for them again, according to reports.

Dempsey was left out of the squad to face Norwich City amid speculation over his future at the club, with Liverpool reportedly interested in the American.

Manager Martin Jol revealed that the 29-year-old was not in the right frame of mind to play, although it has since emerged that Dempsey has allegedly refused to play for the club ever again.

Dempsey, who was also left out of the club's pre-season trip to Switzerland, recently publicly announced his desire to leave Craven Cottage.

The United States international joined Fulham in 2007 and has since scored 60 goals in 225 appearances for the Cottagers.
