West Ham Eye Sensational Craig Dawson Return After Wolves Contract Twist. Dawson Return After Wolves Contract Twist, West Ham United former favourite Craig Dawson could sensationally have his Wolverhampton Wanderers contract torn up, according to an update in The Athletic today.
Dawson became a cult hero at West Ham after an impressive loan spell from Watford, which led to the Hammers signing the towering centre-back for a bargain fee.
In terms of value for money, his signing ranks among the club’s best transfer deals in recent years. A goal-scoring defender with a no-nonsense style, Dawson was a firm fan favourite. However, due to family reasons, he eventually had to move to the Midlands in a drawn-out transfer saga that saw Wolves finally secure their man.

It’s fair to say that ‘Balon Dawson’ or ‘Virgil Van Dawson’ left the London Stadium on good terms. However, few would have predicted a potential return to East London.
Yet this morning, reports have linked West Ham with a fresh move for the 34-year-old—should his Wolves contract be cancelled.
Wolves boss Vítor Pereira has made it clear that Dawson has no future at Molineux, as he looks to overhaul his struggling, relegation-threatened side. As a result, a contract termination appears increasingly likely.
Whether West Ham will make a bid remains uncertain. But with a shortage of fit and competent centre-backs, there could be one last swansong for the Hammers’ cult hero. Dawson could also look to reunite with former teammate Max Kilman who he played alongside in the Midlands.
