CLINT Dempsey has set his sights on breaking Brian McBride's record of most goals scored by a US player in the Premier League.

Dempsey took his tally to 36 league goals in last week's win against Wigan to equal the milestone set by the former Fulham frontman.

And the 28-year-old hopes he can beat that number in next week's clash with Sunderland.

He said: “I like scoring goals and it's great to get up to those numbers.

"But hopefully I can keep pushing that higher and there's other milestones I can reach.”
