# West Ham United: Fans react to club’s post regarding Craig Dawson

**Fans of West Ham United have been reacting to a post on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1369044389398462465), in which the club shared a post concerning the Hammers centre-back, Craig Dawson.**

Having joined West Ham on a [season-long loan deal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/craig-dawson/transfers/spieler/121477) last October, Dawson’s life in east London got off to a rather slow start, with the 30-year-old making just [one league appearance](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/craig-dawson/leistungsdaten/spieler/121477) for the Hammers in 2020.

However, since then, the [£3.6 million-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/craig-dawson/marktwertverlauf/spieler/121477) defender has become a stalwart in David Moyes’ starting XI, having [not missed a minute of Premier League action](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/craig-dawson/leistungsdaten/spieler/121477) since his league debut in December, with one supporter calling him an ‘[unreal](https://twitter.com/conko97/status/1369044745612390401)‘ find by the manager.

And, following [yet another impressive performance](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/73063/MatchStatistics/Craig-Dawson) in West Ham’s [2-0 victory over Leeds United](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/3429762) – in which Dawson scored [one goal](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/73063/MatchStatistics/Craig-Dawson), made [one interception](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/73063/MatchStatistics/Craig-Dawson) and [three clearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/73063/MatchStatistics/Craig-Dawson) – on Monday evening, the [West Ham Twitter account](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1369044389398462465) singled out the centre-back for praise, simply posting “CRAIG DAWSON” accompanied by two praying hands emojis.

In reaction, fans of [West Ham flocked to have their say](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1369044389398462465) on the man who has gone from a seemingly pointless singing into an absolute bargain, with many taking the opportunity to call for the club to make Dawson’s loan deal a permanent move this summer.

**“Craig Dawson superb yet again against Leeds tonight – very solid as always. Seems to be improving and proves the initial doubters wrong every game he plays. He’s the kind of player West Ham fans love – old school CB who plays for shirt every time wears it. Needs to be permanent.”**
