Celtic ‘in talks’ with Tottenham over transfer of defender

Celtic are reportedly in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over the permanent transfer of Cameron Carter-Vickers. The 23-year-old has made just four appearances for Spurs having spent most of his time in England on loan; however, American journalist Larry Henry Jr, managing editor of SBI Soccer, has tweeted to say that Celtic are one of three teams in the mix for the American Internationalist.

Henry Jr’s source is close to the player and it appears that there is interest in taking him from North London. Carter-Vickers has just one year on his contract remaining and Spurs are likely looking to offload the player to avoid losing him for nothing. Bournemouth had the player last year and will likely fancy their chances in securing the player whilst Newcastle has the draw of Premier League football. Although, the pathway that Celtic offers is unique. Carter-Vickers can play European football, have access to top facilities and really make his mark on football in the UK after a period of time being loaned around the English Championship.

Celtic have been linked heavily with a £4.2m move for Carl Starfelt and Mario Vuskovic but as of yet, the club is yet to sign any first-team ready defenders. Kris Ajer is expected to depart this summer with a Norwich bid of £12m plus add-ons expected, meaning that Ange will need to recruit well ahead of the new season.
