# Celtic: Journalist makes Carter-Vickers claim

**Journalist Pete O’Rourke has made a claim regarding Celtic’s possible permanent swoop for Tottenham’s Cameron Carter-Vickers, [Give Me Sport](https://www.givemesport.com/1801975-celtic-transfer-news-doubts-emerge-over-10m-deal-with-major-club) report.**

### The Lowdown: Carter-Vickers under Postecoglou

Carter-Vickers was the club’s final addition over the summer, [joining](https://twitter.com/CelticFC/status/1432839838974287875) on deadline day in a season-long loan deal that includes an option to buy next summer.

Since then, the 23-year-old has been an ever-present figure at the back under Ange Postecoglou, making [20](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/leistungsdaten/spieler/341049) appearances in green and white.

He’s missed just [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/leistungsdaten/spieler/341049) Scottish Premiership fixture following his move and was hailed as an [‘excellent professional’](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/pape-matar-sarr-joy-praise-21498114) by Kenny Dalglish.

### The Latest: O’Rourke’s claim

[Give Me Sport](https://www.givemesport.com/1801975-celtic-transfer-news-doubts-emerge-over-10m-deal-with-major-club) shared the latest news on Carter-Vickers making a permanent Parkhead switch, suggesting both Celtic and the player are keen on a full-time move.

Reporter O’Rourke gave his thoughts on a possible permanent swoop to [Give Me Sport](https://www.givemesport.com/1801975-celtic-transfer-news-doubts-emerge-over-10m-deal-with-major-club), admitting he wasn’t sure if the Hoops could reach the £10m asking price, as reported by [The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cameron-carter-vickers-celtic-transfer-25581601).

> “Cameron Carter-Vickers has made a big impression since his loan move from Tottenham, but I’m not sure if Celtic could reach that £10m valuation that Spurs are looking for a permanent deal, though.”

### The Verdict: Club record fee

Should Celtic stump up the fee for Carter-Vickers, they’d [reportedly](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/cameron-carter-vickers-celtic-transfer-25581601) have to pay two separate add-ons which would take the deal over £10m.

That would make him the club’s [most expensive signing](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transferrekorde/verein/371) of all time, eclipsing the £9.27m move that made Odsonne Edouard’s loan permanent from Paris Saint-Germain.

There’s no denying that Carter-Vickers has impressed at Celtic Park, however, £10m is a lot of money, especially with the Hoops already spending over [£20m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/transfers/verein/371) in the summer and seemingly looking at [four](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/12488152/celtic-transfer-news-daizen-maeda-reo-hatate-and-yosuke-ideguchi-targets-for-ange-postecoglou) January permanent additions in Reo Hatate, Yosuke Ideguchi, Daizen Maeda and on-loan Jota.
