# Celtic: Hoops backed to seal permanent move for Cameron Carter-Vickers

**Celtic signing Cameron Carter-Vickers on a permanent deal this summer would be a ‘big, big boost’ according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.**

### The Lowdown: Dream loan spell

The American traded Tottenham for the Hoops last year, arriving at Parkhead on a season-long loan in order to enjoy regular starts away from north London.

Carter-Vickers has enjoyed a fantastic spell at Celtic to date, becoming an [influential figure](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic) at the heart of the defence and winning four Man of the Match awards from [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/301029/Show/Cameron-Carter-Vickers).

He has also scored [four times](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/301029/Show/Cameron-Carter-Vickers) for good measure, including the crucial winner in the 2-1 victory away to Rangers earlier this month.

### The Latest: Permanent move imminent?

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/87993100-celtic-postecoglou-could-land-big-boost-with-deal-for-immense-10m-star), O’Rourke talked up the idea of Celtic signing Carter-Vickers on a long-term basis in the summer transfer window. The journalist said:

> “It would be a big, big boost for Celtic if they were to get this deal over the line. I think he has been instrumental in their success this season and has helped to shore up their defence.
>
> “Celtic have got the best defensive record in the Scottish Premiership this season as well, so Carter-Vickers has played his part in that.”

### The Verdict: No-brainer for Celtic

There is very little, if anything, which doesn’t make sense regarding the Hoops signing Carter-Vickers permanently, given the impact he has made at the club.

Spurs are [reportedly](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cameron-carter-vickers-celtic-deal-26633302?_ga=2.79554455.2082304451.1649161091-2076498865.1581015582) willing to sell him, not seeing him as a key figure, and [£6m](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cameron-carter-vickers-celtic-deal-26633302?_ga=2.79554455.2082304451.1649161091-2076498865.1581015582) would be enough for Celtic to snap him up, which arguably feels like a bargain given his performances in green and white.

The 24-year-old has the potential to be a vital player at Parkhead for many years, with his average of [4.2 aerial duel wins](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/301029/Show/Cameron-Carter-Vickers) and 1.2 interceptions per game highlighting his defensive expertise.
