Craig Dawson

Another centre-back that would add real quality to the squad, Craig Dawson is a player that would go straight into the Forest starting line-up. A very well-rounded player, able to play tough but use the ball well, Dawson could be the missing piece to a back-line that went through many different iterations last season.

He’s grown discontent at West Brom and still seems set on leaving despite the club turning down his transfer request. Should he be deemed surplus to requirements by Alan Irvine, Forest could be the ideal club to give him back his confidence and then potentially allow him to play on the Premier League stage once again.
