West Brom are close to securing Craig Dawson to a new contract.

The Express & Star says Dawson has one year left on his current £25,000-a-week contract but is now in line for a long-term deal with higher wages after two-and-a-half impressive seasons under Tony Pulis.

The 27-year-old has only missed one Premier League game in the last two campaigns, and that was due to suspension.

The club have been in talks with his representatives since the start of May, but discussions have progressed recently, and are now nearing a conclusion.

Dawson is on holiday at the moment, but is expected to put pen to paper on a new deal shortly after he returns for pre-season in the first week of July.
