West Ham boss David Moyes has made the Craig Dawson situation clear after confirming a bid from Saturday’s opponents Wolves.
The Hammers travel to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in a huge six-pointer this weekend. And off the pitch Moyes and Julen Lopetegui must scramble to do business in their bid to avoid the drop.
West Ham are sitting in 17th place and were only being kept out of the relegation zone by Aston Villa’s equaliser against Wolves last time out.
West Ham now face a tough trip to a much-improved Wolves on Saturday afternoon.
The match brings both teams to the halfway stage of the season and Wolves have looked a much-improved side under Julen Lopetegui.
There has been fresh speculation ahead of the game that Hammers fan favourite Craig Dawson could finally be set for the move to Molineux he came close to completing in the summer.
As most Hammers fans will be aware, Dawson wants to move to a club further north for family reasons.
Journalist Darren Lewis claimed West Ham are willing to let Dawson join Wolves as they plan on signing an upgrade this month.
Now West Ham boss Moyes has made the Dawson situation clear after confirming a bid from Wolves.
Speaking in his pre-Wolves press conference, the Scot opened up on the Dawson situation.
“We’ve had an offer from Wolves,” Moyes told the press (whufc.com).
“We’ve not accepted it and that’s as much as I can tell you.”
West Ham would be taking leave of their senses to let any players join a direct relegation rival at this stage.
If Moyes or the club believe West Ham are too good to drop then they need to wake up and smell the coffee.
Wolves are threatening to take their January spending past the £70m mark. Just imagine allowing Dawson to go there and he helps keep them up at West Ham’s expense.
Thankfully it seems the Hammers are taking the right stance at the moment.
