Burnley have made a new bid for West Bromwich Albion defender Craig Dawson.
The Lancashire Evening Telegraph says Clarets boss Sean Dyche has identified Dawson as his top centre back target this summer but admitted after Tuesday's friendly match at Preston that some deals were taking longer than he had hoped to secure.
Burnley have already had bids of around £1m and £1.5m rejected by West Brom for Dawson but Dyche is determined to get his man and the Clarets are now going back in with another offer, thought to be an initial £2m.
Dawson is known to be eager to join the Clarets in search of regular first-team football and is back in the country this week after returning from West Brom's pre-season training camp in California.
