# Tottenham Hotspur: Cameron Carter-Vickers could leave permanently

**Celtic will sign Tottenham Hotspur defender Cameron Carter-Vickers on a ‘simple’ permanent deal, Lilywhites insider John Wenham has claimed.**

### The Lowdown: Carter-Vickers having a fine season

The 24-year-old made his mark on Sunday after scoring the winning goal in the Old Firm derby as [Celtic beat Rangers 2-1](https://www.skysports.com/football/rangers-vs-celtic/report/445467) at Ibrox.

The defender has played [27 times in the Premiership](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/leistungsdaten/spieler/341049) this season and has become a crucial component of the Hoops’ backline. The American averages a phenomenal 4.4 clearances per league game, considerably more than any of his teammates (via [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic)).

[Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12573918/paul-pogba-erling-haaland-kylian-mbappe-vivianne-miedema-declan-rice-50-players-who-could-move-in-the-summer-transfer-window) have now reported that Celtic can make the defender’s loan a permanent move for a £6m fee, and talks are already underway about the structure of the deal.

### The Latest: Wenham’s claim on Carter-Vickers

Tottenham insider Wenham is backing the deal to go through. Speaking with [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-and-tottenham-to-agree-6m-cameron-carter-vickers-deal-after-sky-reveal-expert/), he claimed:

*“Yeah, it’s simple, it just requires Celtic to transfer Tottenham £6million, it’s as simple as that.* *The player would want it and both clubs want it so there shouldn’t be any problems.*

*“They could have done it in the summer but the loan has been perfect for Tottenham.*  *We would have let him go for £2million but we have trebled that price based on his performances.*

*“I couldn’t be happier with how it has gone because he plays pretty much every game up there.* *Cameron just isn’t at the level to play for Spurs so I am more than happy to move him on and bank that £6million fee.”*

### The Verdict: Good move for all involved

Having made [just five senior appearances for Tottenham](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/leistungsdaten/spieler/341049), it seems clear that Carter-Vickers is not going to have a long-term career with the north London club. This may come as a disappointment to some fans, as in 2016, Spurs hero Jan Vertonghen hailed the centre-back as an [“absolute beast”](https://www.footballinsider247.com/jan-vertonghen-praises-young-spurs-defender/) during the American’s emergence into the first team.

As a result, it would be in the best interests of Spurs and the 24-year-old to part ways on a permanent basis. This would also suit Celtic, who have enjoyed success with the defender leading their backline.

Therefore, this would no doubt be a good move for all parties involved.
