# Celtic: Cameron Carter-Vickers discussions ongoing

**Celtic are still in discussions with Tottenham over a permanent deal for Cameron Carter-Vickers, [John McGinley](https://twitter.com/jhnmcgnly/status/1490092708102389762?s=21) reports.**

### The Lowdown: Impressive loan

Carter-Vickers made the move to Glasgow [late](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1432839838974287875) in the summer window and has been a near ever-present figure under Ange Postecoglou.

The centre-back, labelled as [‘quick’](https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/19130330.woodgate-reveals-carter-vickers-heavily-list-middlesbrough-boss/) by former Bournemouth boss Jonathan Woodgate, has missed just [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/leistungsdaten/spieler/341049) Scottish Premiership fixture since becoming a Hoops player and has been the club’s best performing centre-back, as per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic).

[Reports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/12508514/celtic-hope-to-seal-permanent-jota-and-cameron-carter-vickers-deals) at the beginning of January suggested that the club were working on permanent moves for both Carter-Vickers and Jota after including options in their respective loan deals. Full-time transfers failed to materialise last month, but it seems as if Celtic are still in talks.

### The Latest: McGinley’s tweet

Celtic reporter [McGinley](https://twitter.com/jhnmcgnly/status/1490092708102389762?s=21) took to Twitter on Saturday evening to relay comments from Postecoglou on Carter-Vickers and Jota.

He said that talks are continuing and are being led by CEO Michael Nicholson.

> “Ange Postecoglou says discussions re: the purchase of Cameron Carter-Vickers and Jota are ongoing ‘over the next period’, led by Michael Nicholson and involving the players themselves. ‘It will take care of itself.’ No guarantees, of course.”

### The Verdict: Needed

Carter-Vickers, on [£22,000-a-week](https://salarysport.com/football/scottish-premiership/celtic/), has proven he can be a reliable and top member of Postecoglou’s squad, so making his move permanent appears to be a no brainer.

The option to buy fee [reportedly](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/12508514/celtic-hope-to-seal-permanent-jota-and-cameron-carter-vickers-deals) stands at an initial £6m, a figure which is over twice his [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/profil/spieler/341049) valuation. Nicholson may be looking to bring that fee down slightly, however, there is thought to be [no wriggle room](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/12508514/celtic-hope-to-seal-permanent-jota-and-cameron-carter-vickers-deals) on the overall price.

It could well be that talks continue until the summer, where Nicholson and Celtic may have to make a decision one way or the other on Carter-Vickers, but it would be disappointing if he isn’t a permanent Hoops player ahead of the 2022/23 season following his impressive temporary stay.
