West Brom face a battle to keep hold of Craig Dawson this summer.
The People says the Baggies are bracing themselves for interest in defender Dawson this summer and local rivals Aston Villa are keeping tabs on him.
Dawson, 27, is among a clutch of Hawthorns stalwarts who could leave the club during the summer once relegation to the Championship is confirmed.
Premier League side Burnley have been consistently linked with the former Rochdale man who is now reportedly attracting interest from Villa and Middlesbrough.
Middlesbrough are managed by former Baggies boss Tony Pulis and the Welshman remains a keen admirer of Dawson.
