Bolton Wanderers plot Craig Dawson bid?

Championship side Bolton Wanderers are reportedly keen on signing West Bromwich Albion defender Craig Dawson.

The 23-year-old spent time on loan at the Reebok Stadium last season, but he has since returned to West Brom, where he was expected to be a part of the first-team squad.

However, following yesterday's arrival of Uruguayan centre-back Diego Lugano, it is believed that West Brom manager Steve Clarke may now be willing to part with Dawson.

If that is the case, then boss Dougie Freedman would like to take the former Rochdale player back to Bolton, according to the Express & Star.

Dawson made 16 appearances during his spell with the Trotters, scoring four goals in the process.
