West Bromwich Albion’s Craig Dawson has been linked with Watford.
According to a report by Sky Sports, Watford are in talks with West Bromwich Albion over the potential signing of Craig Dawson.
The report claims the Baggies aren’t keen on selling the defender. However, Dawson’s contract at West Brom expires next summer and club may feel it’s in their best interests to cash in on him now.
The 29-year-old is a popular figure at the Hawthorns after making over 200 appearances for the club.
But here are three viable options the club could consider as a potential replacement.
Jordan Willis:
The Coventry City defender was a standout in League One last season, helping the Sky Blues to a top half finish.
The 24-year-old is out of contract this summer. Willis would represent a potential coup, but the Baggies may have to face off competition from several other Championship clubs should they make a move.
According to the Coventry Telegraph, Bristol City and Derby County are among those keen on the player.
Matt Miazga:
The American defender was a real hit on loan at Reading from Chelsea last season.
The Blues have a host of central defenders, including Kurt Zouma and Fikayo Tomori who were also out on loan at Everton and Derby County respectively last season.
Miazga is unlikely to break through anytime soon, so he could be available this summer. The Reading Chronicle suggest the Royals may be in for him again, but West Brom would surely represent a better option.
Liam Lindsay:
Barnsley’s Liam Lindsay has already been linked with a move to the Baggies, according to The Sun.
Lindsay, 23, has huge potential and West Brom should move for him regardless of whether Dawson follows in the footsteps of goalkeeper Ben Foster and trades the Hawthorns for Watford’s Vicarage Road.
