# Celtic: Cameron Carter-Vickers move off the table

**Celtic have dropped their interest in Tottenham defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, according to [The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/cameron-carter-vickers-celtic-transfer-24878290.amp?__twitter_impression=true).**

### The Lowdown: Deadline day links

Ange Postecoglou was on the [hunt](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/ryan-christie-celtic-bournemouth-transfer-24872300) to land a centre-back on a temporary basis on Tuesday.

[Sky Sports](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1432696509124972554) claimed that the Hoops were looking at Carter-Vickers, however, a deal was described as [difficult](https://twitter.com/footballdaily/status/1432696509124972554).

It now seems as if a move for the 23-year-old, labelled as [‘quick’ by Jonathan Woodgate](https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/19130330.woodgate-reveals-carter-vickers-heavily-list-middlesbrough-boss/), won’t materialise.

### The Latest: Source shares update

[The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/cameron-carter-vickers-celtic-transfer-24878290.amp?__twitter_impression=true) shared a story on Tuesday afternoon, shortly after the links to Carter-Vickers emerged.

They were informed by a source close to the defender that the ‘door has closed’ on Carter-Vickers, with the Hoops dropping their interest.

### The Verdict: All focus on attackers

With Carter-Vickers not looking like a Celtic addition before the deadline closes, all focus should be on getting two attacking targets signed up.

Georgios Giakoumakis has [signed](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1432750379444445184) and[Filipe Jota](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/ryan-christie-celtic-bournemouth-transfer-24872300) is expected to move to Parkhead, so getting those over the line should be viewed as crucial.

Ange Postecoglou already has [five](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/kader/verein/371) senior centre-backs, so not landing Carter-Vickers shouldn’t be the end of the world.

However, if Celtic sell [Odsonne Edouard and Ryan Christie](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/ryan-christie-celtic-bournemouth-transfer-24872300) and fail to land their replacements, then the Hoops could have an issue.
