# Celtic: Kevin Campbell reacts to Cameron Carter-Vickers update

**Pundit Kevin Campbell believes Tottenham defender Cameron Carter-Vickers will make his loan move at Celtic permanent in the summer, [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/cameron-carter-vickers-celtic-tipped-to-seal-exceptional-10m-deal-after-transfer-update-pundit/) report.**

### The Lowdown: Big Premier League interest

The Hoops have the option to make the centre-back’s stay a full time one at the end of the season for an initial [£6m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11787/12508514/celtic-hope-to-seal-permanent-jota-and-cameron-carter-vickers-deals). The American has impressed under Ange Postecoglou in Glasgow, which has resulted in interest from a number of Premier League sides.

[Sources close to the player](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/carter-vickers-transfer-interest-england/) suggested that Leicester City and Wolves are now keen on the player’s services ahead of the 2022/23 season.

[The Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/8542368/watford-bournemouth-transfer-tottenham-carter-vickers-celtic/) also shared an update in the week, suggesting the 24-year-old isn’t in Antonio Conte’s Tottenham plans but is wanted by Bournemouth and Watford.

### The Latest: Campbell’s comments

Campbell, who contributes for [Sky Sports](https://icdb.tv/stats/1212/Kevin-Campbell), was quizzed on Carter-Vickers by [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/cameron-carter-vickers-celtic-tipped-to-seal-exceptional-10m-deal-after-transfer-update-pundit/) in a story shared on Friday morning following the updates regarding Premier League interest.

He thinks the defender will now choose Celtic, labelling it as a ‘smart’ decision.

> “Carter-Vickers has done exceptionally well at Celtic.
>
> “Sometimes, as a centre-half, you have to go for a club that’s the right fit. I think he fits Celtic perfectly.
>
> “There is going to be interest from Premier League clubs but there’s no guarantees if you make that move.
>
> “Right now, he is starting every week at a huge club. If they win the league they will be playing in the Champions League next season. Celtic ticks a lot of boxes right now.
>
> “I think he’ll choose to stay and that would be the smart move. Wherever else he goes there will be a lot more competition for the centre-back spot. Staying would be the right choice in my eyes.”

### The Verdict: Fingers crossed

No Celtic player has made more clearances per game or has been dribbled past on fewer occasions than Carter-Vickers, as per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic), so it’s easy to see why he is attracting plenty of interest.

As we know, the Hoops have the option to make a move permanent, but ultimately, it will be down to the player.

You’d like to think he’d be open to penning a long-term deal in Glasgow after being trusted by Postecoglou for the majority of the campaign, however, only time will tell.
