In 31 appearances for Watford, Dawson has managed to score two goals.

Craig Dawson is a long-term target of West Ham and could be a decent addition for David Moyes’ side.
The Watford centre-back heavily relies on his ability to read the game. It is coupled with his sensible tackling and an excellent sense of positioning, allowing him to repel most of the danger in the defensive third.
The England international has the quality and the experience to make an immediate impact.
According to the report, “Watford defender Craig Dawson is attracting Premier League interest. The Daily Mail says West Ham are looking to sign Dawson before the transfer window shuts. The Hammer failed with more than one bid for Burnley centre-back James Tarkowski and have now turned their attentions to Dawson instead. Dawson made 29 appearances for the Hornets in the top flight last season but has only featured in the Carabao Cup thus far during this campaign.”
