Pundit thinks West Ham have made the signing of the season, better than Hojbjerg and Jota

West Ham United loanee Craig Dawson could be the signing of the season, according to Hammers icon Don Hutchison.

The 30-year-old defender joined West Ham on a season-long loan from Watford in October, with an option to buy.

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

To date, the former England Under-21 defender has made 11 competitive appearances for the East Londoners, scoring three goals.

Dawson has been key in the Hammers’ superb run of form in recent weeks, helping them to six wins and two draws from their last nine league games.

He was once again superb for West Ham in Monday night’s 3-0 win over Sheffield United, a threat going forward and a rock at the back.

Hutchison, a pundit and co-commentator, took to Twitter to laud Dawson, and responded to fans who questioned his opinion:

Dawson has proved a very shrewd acquisition for West Ham, a tall, imposing, vocal and no-nonsense defender who’s not afraid to put his body on the line in every game.

Watford offered the Hammers the chance sign him permanently for just £3million in January, and given how well he’s been doing, surely it’ll be a no-brainer come the summer.
