A number of West Ham United fans have taken to Twitter to welcome the report claiming Craig Dawson could join the Hammers permanently for as little as £2million by April.

The 30-year-old defender has been in simply sensational form for the Hammers this season, helping David Moyes’ side remain in contention for a Champions League spot.

Dawson linked up with the Hammers on a season-long loan from Watford in October for a reported £1million loan fee, along with an option to buy.

Although Dawson didn’t feature in a senior West Ham game until their last Premier League fixture of 2020, he’s been one of the first names on Moyes’ team sheet ever since.

To date, the £40,000-a-week star has made 14 competitive appearances for the East Londoners, putting in plenty of superb defensive displays and also scoring four goals in all competitions.

According to The Athletic, Dawson is three Premier League starts away from triggering a permanent move to West Ham for £2million plus add-ons.

The payment will reportedly be due after his 15th league start which, barring injury, could come as early as away to Wolverhampton Wanderers on April 3.

Dawson will then start a two-year deal from this summer, added The Athletic.

Needless to say, many West Ham fans are delighted with the report:
