Wolves are this morning reported to have signed Craig Dawson from West Ham for £3.3m.
The news has not been officially confirmed by www.whufc. com but according to the BBC the 32 year old has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal and is Wolves’ fourth January signing.
The Hammers and Dawson have both been in a diffiult situation with the player needing to move for personal reasons whilst the club has been low in cover due to injuries.
Dawson, whose last appearance for the Hammers was in an FA Cup win at Brentford on 7 January, was not registered in time to face City.
He initially joined West Ham on loan from Watford in October 2020 before turning that into a permanent move.
He made 87 appearances and scored five goals in all competitions for the Hammers, and started all six Europa League knockout round games last season as West Ham reached the semi-finals.
He impressed against a Sevilla side managed by Lopetegui when West Ham beat them in the last-16 of the competition.
Farewell and good luck to you Craig Dawson! Thanks for your wonderful contribution to West Ham United. You will be remembered fondly as a really good defender who gave everything.
Wolves are lucky to have you.
