“I think we will achieve some great things here, so thank you,” Dempsey told the boisterous crowd.
Terms of the deal are yet to be disclosed but reports suggest the MLS club will pay a record ($9m) transfer fee to Spurs for the 30-year-old midfielder.
Dempsey, who has scored 35 goals for the USMNT in 98 appearances, had earlier featured for another MLS side the New England Revolution from 2004 to 2007, before moving abroad to join Fulham.
He signed a three-year deal with Tottenham for a fee believed to be worth £6m in 2012.
