Clint Dempsey has said he left Fulham because he did not feel sufficiently appreciated by the club.
US international Dempsey, 29, signed for Spurs on transfer deadline day after a summer of persistent speculation had linked him with a £10 million move to Liverpool.
When that move failed to materialise, Cottagers manager Martin Jol omitted the attacker from his early season squads as uncertainty over his future continued.
On Saturday, Dempsey returns to Craven Cottage - where he spent five and a half years - for the first time since his £6 million switch to north London.
