Watford are interested in signing Craig Dawson from West Bromwich Albion.
The Hornets are seeking a senior central defender as part of their summer recruitment strategy.
They previously wanted to sign Dawson last summer, but could not agree a deal with West Brom.
After the Championship club failed to secure promotion, a move may be possible this summer.
The news of a fresh move for the 29-year-old comes from reports in the English media.
Dawson would be an ideal replacement for Miguel Britos, who left the Hornets this summer.
