Turns out we were watching the wrong Fulham player.

All this time, we here at the B/R Transfer Tracker have been following the Clint Dempsey situation. Apparently, we should have been tracking Moussa Dembele.

In addition to Dembele, Wednesday's Tracker has updates on Dimitar Berbatov, Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott and Javi Martinez.

Keep reading for all the details.

Moussa Dembele appears on his way to Tottenham Hotspur after the North London club agreed to a £15 million fee for his transfer from Fulham (Independent).

Dembele, a 25-year-old creative midfielder, has 40 caps for Belgium. He joined Fulham from AZ Alkmaar in 2010.

Elsewhere, the Daily Mirror reports that Tottenham are also chasing midfielder João Moutinho and forward Alan Dzagoev. If true, those moves could mean Jermain Defoe and Rafael van der Vaart are set to leave the club.

Theo Walcott has turned down Arsenal's latest contract offer, prompting speculation over the England midfielder's future (Daily Telegraph).

Walcott, 23, joined Arsenal from Southampton as a teenager in 2006. His current contract runs through the end of the 2012-13 season.

Manchester City and Liverpool are thought to be interested if Arsenal decide to sell.

Wayne Rooney thinks Manchester United are planning to sell him for £40 million, according to the Daily Mirror.

Rooney supposedly has seen his relationship with United manager Sir Alex Ferguson deteriorate in recent weeks. The England striker is currently sidelined after suffering a gash to his thigh against Fulham.

Javi Martinez is nearing a record transfer to Bayern Munich, according to Goal.com.

Martinez, a 23-year-old midfielder/defender, could complete a €40 million move from Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday. That would be a German record transfer fee.

According to German reports cited by ESPN FC, Martinez has passed a medical in Munich.

Martinez has eight senior caps for Spain. He joined Athletic Bilbao from Osasuna in 2006.
