West Ham boss David Moyes has highlighted the unsung progress of centre back Craig Dawson.
Dawson cost around £2m when he signed from Watford two years ago.
"Dawson has given us a real stability," Moyes said, "He's reliable, he plays most weeks, he trains every day, he turns up for the games in good fashion.
"He's brought in a lot of really good things, a lot of real basic things which you need sometimes. You do need centre halves who can head it and kick it and tackle and block. There's a new modern world out there of centre halves who pass it and play from the back, with lots of key passes.
"I think in the main it's been money really well spent from our point of view. But I have to say I think he has improved as well. He's understanding a lot more things and generally he's playing at a good level in the Premier League."
