# Celtic: Dean Jones makes ‘massive’ Cameron Carter-Vickers claim

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) could complete a superb signing with the permanent capture of on-loan Tottenham Hotspur defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.**

### The lowdown: Breakthrough season

The 24-year-old USA international joined the Hoops on a season-long loan and has enjoyed an impressive 2021/22 campaign for the Glasgow giants.

So much so that the Parkhead hierarchy are expected to sanction the [reported](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cameron-carter-vickers-celtic-transfer-25581601) £10million (£6m initial) option to buy clause included in the deal that brought the centre-back from north London to Celtic Park.

Amidst [interest](https://sbisoccer.com/2022/05/source-newcastle-united-has-renewed-interest-in-cameron-carter-vickers-transfer) from the Premier League and Newcastle United, in particular, Celtic may be thankful for their pre-existing upper hand.

### The latest: ‘Massive coup’

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88005744-celtic-could-clinch-massive-coup-by-signing-10m-star-at-parkhead), Jones, an insider for Eurosport, suggested that the Bhoys would be over the moon if Carter-Vickers becomes a permanent member of Postecoglou’s ranks.

The journalist said: “It’d be a massive coup because the player obviously still believes he can play in the English Premier League. But he has found a good home for himself right now, and part of him will realise that and know that if they could put forward a big enough incentive for him to stay, then he maybe should do that.

“It’s a big season next season in Glasgow, there’s so much to compete for between Celtic and Rangers. It’d be a big result if Celtic could keep him; they’ve still got a chance.”

### The verdict: Make it happen

Described as an [‘absolute beast’](https://www.espn.com/soccer/tottenham-hotspur/story/2958765/cameron-carter-vickers-can-impress-for-tottenham-jan-vertonghen) by Tottenham favourite Jan Vertonghen, Carter-Vickers has been superb for Celtic this term, earning a 7.34 average [Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/cameron-carter-vickers/795972) rating in the Scottish Premiership, winning 5.8 duels and making 4.3 clearances on average per game.

For the mooted £10million fee the Hoops would be signing a proven top-flight operator with [eight-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/nationalmannschaft/spieler/341049/verein_id/3505) international experience and the required skill-set to develop even further in his career to come thereafter – potentially earning the club a hefty sell-on fee down the line.

Albeit unlikely, were major interest to be forthcoming this summer, the deal has worked in such a way that, in theory, Celtic could make an instant profit on the defender in order to boost the coffers yet further and allow Postecoglou to strengthen freely.
