The 30-year-old joined the Hammers on a season-long loan from Watford last month.

Dawson is yet to make his debut for West Ham, however.

David Moyes brought the experienced centre-back to the London Stadium as cover for the likes of Angelo Ogbonna, Issa Diop, Aaron Cresswell and Fabian Balbuena.

But the Watford-owned defender has not only not made an appearance for the Hammers yet, but he hasn’t been included in a match-day squad either.

At the time, many West Ham fans were up in arms that Dawson was signed. In fairness to Moyes, however, the 30-year-old was brought to east London as nothing more than a back-up.

ExWHUemployee has claimed that the centre-back is yet to be included in a match-day squad due to other options. And the West Ham insider suggested that the former West Brom man has been impressing David Moyes in training:

Only time will tell as to whether Dawson was a smart addition or not.

The 30-year-old will have to seriously impress if West Ham are to make his deal a permanent one next summer.

Hopefully Dawson plugs a hole between now and May. And we can then pursue younger and more talented defensive targets in the summer.
