USA coach Jurgen Klinsmann is happy for Clint Dempsey over his move to Tottenham.

Klinsmann is still regarded affectionately at Spurs.

"We are happy this whole thing was finalized. He got to move to a real international club that's always competing in the top four or six of the Premier League. Personally, I'm excited because I played for Tottenham many, many years ago and it gives me a chance to watch one of his games at one of my old clubs," said Klinsmann.

"It's really important that Clint can put this behind him. It was not always pretty what happened in the last few weeks, with different comments from different people. He dragged that with him the whole summer. Coming in with us for the May and June camp, it was always in the back of his mind and he was concerned about it, which is normal. We're happy a decision has been made and a move has happened."
