West Bromwich Albion defender Craig Dawson is reportedly on the radar of Watford and Burnley.

Watford are interested in signing Craig Dawson from West Bromwich Albion in the summer transfer window, according to The Sun.

It has been reported that Watford want to sign a British defender and have identified Dawson as a summer transfer target.

The Hornets’s Premier League rivals Burnley are also claimed to be interested in the 29-year-old defender, who is reportedly keen on a return to the top flight of English football.

West Brom will play in the Championship next season after failing to clinch promotion to the Premier League via the playoffs.

Leaving West Bromwich Albion

Dawson has been on the books of West Brom since 2010 and has established himself as an important player for the Baggies.

The 29-year-old did well in the Premier League during his time with West Brom, and it does not come as a surprise that Watford reportedly want him.

Given that Dawson is now 29 years of age and there is no guaranteed that West Brom will finish in the top six of the Championship next season, a move to the Premier League this summer does make sense for the defender.
