Burnley target Dawson makes West Brom transfer demand

Craig Dawson has slapped in a transfer demand at West Brom.

The Mirror says Dawson and keeper Ben Foster both last week refused to go on the club's training camp to Portugal and face fines.

Shot-stopper Foster, 35, is now close to completing a switch to Watford. Dawson,28, also wants to quit The Hawthorns after Premier League duo Burnley and West Ham bid for him.

Burnley are offering around £12m for the versatile defender which Dawson feels is a fair price despite it being rejected. Dawson has made 153 top-flight appearances and scored 12 goals.

When Darren Moore paired him with Ahmed Hegazi last season relegated Albion kept three clean sheets in their last six games. But Dawson is also the only senior centre-back left at the club the Baggies currently have control over.
