Watford have agreed a £5.5million deal with West Brom for Craig Dawson, and the defender is set to undergo his medical on Saturday afternoon.

Interest in the 29-year-old was said to be high as Dawson entered the final year of his contract with the Baggies, and Watford were one of a number of Premier League sides linked with a move for the defender.

And according to Sky Sports News, Dawson is set to undergo a medical with Watford on Saturday afternoon ahead of a £5.5million move, and the report suggests the deal could be finalised soon after.

The Baggies were said to have rejected a bid from the Hornets for Dawson last week, and appeared keen to keep hold of the 29-year-old as they targeted another push for promotion from the Championship next season.

Dawson was a key figure for West Brom last season, making 45 appearances in the league, and the defender scored a crucial goal in the play-off semi-final against Aston Villa to level the tie on aggregate.
