Fulham striker Clint Dempsey is bidding to get back on the goal trail to help the Cottagers avoid relegation from the Premier League.The United States international striker has hit the back of the net six times so far this season and wants to get back amongst the goals as Roy Hodgson's side look to stay in the top flight.

Fulham are currently second-from-bottom, six points from safety.

Dempsey says he is hoping to reach his own targets for this season, but staying in the division is the most important objective.

Speaking on the issue of his own and Fulham's targets before the start of the current campaign, Dempsey told the club's official website: "Initially it was to finish in the top 10, get 10 goals and five assists. Those things have changed slightly with the position we find ourselves in, though I would still like to try and hit my individual targets.

"Right now we want to get out of the relegation battle, stay up and make things right for next season. The most important thing is that we stay up and if my personal targets are part of the reason for that then great, but staying up is all I want."
