# Celtic: Ange Postecoglou drops double transfer claim

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) manager Ange Postecoglou has admitted that the club are ‘in discussions’ with Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota over permanent summer moves.**

### The Lowdown: Celtic loan duo influential

The Hoops are tantalisingly close to being crowned [Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) champions after missing out last season, with numerous players doing their bit for the cause.

Carter-Vickers and Jota arrived on loan last summer from Tottenham and Benfica respectively, and they have both been hugely influential performers.

The former has been a rock at the back, winning an average of [four aerial duels](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/301029/Show/Cameron-Carter-Vickers) per league game, while the latter has [scored 11 goals and registered 12 assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/369557/Show/Jota) overall.

### The Latest: Postecoglou drops fresh transfer claim

The hope is that Carter-Vickers and Jota both stay on this summer and join Celtic permanently, and speaking to the media \[via [Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jota-celtic-permanent-transfer-latest-26894844)\], Postecoglou stated that the transfers would hopefully happen:

> “We are in discussions with them obviously, and as I have said all along, with these kind of things it’s never a simple process. But both have had unbelievable years for us and been outstanding contributors and both are really happy here.
>
> “Our intent is to try and keep them at our football club but these things need a point where all parties agree. I am hopeful we will get to that point but at this point we are not quite there yet.”

### The Verdict: Get it sorted

Signing both Carter-Vickers and Jota permanently is an absolute no-brainer for Celtic, considering how crucial they have both been to the Hoops’ success this season.

They have slotted in seamlessly despite only arriving on a temporary basis, and at the ages of 24 and 23 respectively, they would both come in as long-term additions under Postecoglou.

There is likely to be interest from other clubs this summer, which could prove to be a stumbling block, but if the duo want to stay put at Parkhead, it is an easy decision for Celtic to make.
