# Celtic: Hoops backed to sign Cameron Carter-Vickers permanently

**Celtic will complete the permanent signing of centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers this summer, according to Tottenham insider John Wenham, but it will cost them three times the 2021 price.**

### The Lowdown: Carter-Vickers shines on loan

The 24-year-old made a temporary move to Parkhead last summer, with Spurs unable to promise him regular time due to being down the pecking order in north London.

Carter-Vickers has been superb for Celtic throughout this season, making [27 Scottish Premiership starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/301029/Show/Cameron-Carter-Vickers) and shining alongside Carl Starfelt.

The American saved arguably his best performance of the campaign for Sunday’s 2-1 win at Rangers, as he scored the winning goal and defended resolutely, being [hailed](https://twitter.com/chris_sutton73/status/1510602583005700100?s=20&t=qKZW-Ifk6LGCsBSdfAtzqg) as ‘immense’ by Chris Sutton.

### The Latest: Price has trebled since last year

Speaking to [*Football Insider*](https://www.footballinsider247.com/celtic-and-tottenham-to-agree-6m-cameron-carter-vickers-deal-after-sky-reveal-expert/), Wenham firmly believes Carter-Vickers’ permanent move to the Hoops will go through this summer:

> “Yeah, it’s simple, it just requires Celtic to transfer Tottenham £6million, it’s as simple as that. The player would want it and both clubs want it so there shouldn’t be any problems.
>
> “They could have done it in the summer but the loan has been perfect for Tottenham. We would have let him go for £2million but we have trebled that price based on his performances.
>
> “I couldn’t be happier with how it has gone because he plays pretty much every game up there. Cameron just isn’t at the level to play for Spurs so I am more than happy to move him on and bank that £6million fee.”

This aligns with a report from [The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cameron-carter-vickers-celtic-deal-26633302), who believe the Hoops will fend off competition from Leicester City, Wolves and Burnley thanks to the player’s preference to stay in Glasgow.

### The Verdict: Ideal for all parties

Some transfers can feel risky but this one looks like a match made in heaven, with all parties benefiting from Carter-Vickers trading Spurs for Celtic.

It would allow the player himself to settle at a new club that he already knows well, maturing into a formidable player and hopefully inspiring them to many trophies down the years.

Meanwhile, Spurs will be happy to get Carter-Vickers off their wage bill, with first-team opportunities looking hard to come by under Antonio Conte.
