Celtic are interested in signing Tottenham defender Cameron Carter-Vickers on deadline day, according to Sky Sports’ Paul Gilmour.
The Lowdown: Carter-Vickers links
Links to the Spurs defender emerged back in June, with Celtic in talks over a deal for the USA international.
As we know, Celtic have added to their defensive ranks with Carl Starfelt, Liam Scales and Osaze Urhoghide.
Carter-Vickers was keen on a move to Parkhead earlier in the summer, and it seems as if a move to Scotland could be on the cards late on deadline day.
The Latest: Sky Sports claim
Gilmour, reporting from Tottenham’s training ground, shared Celtic’s late interest in Carter-Vickers on-air.
Cited by Football Daily, Gilmour said:
‘We’re being told Celtic loan interest in him, but a difficult deal to do’.
The Verdict: McKay set for a late-night?
With Sky Sports sharing links to Carter-Vickers this afternoon, Dominic McKay could be in for a late-night at Parkhead.
Expected deals for Georgios Giakoumakis and Filipe Jota are yet to be announced, so you’d expect those would be a priority before Carter-Vickers with Odsonne Edouard and Ryan Christie heavily linked with exits.
If they are finalised, McKay could then put all his efforts into signing Carter-Vickers, but it looks like it could go down to the wire given all the business left to sort out in Glasgow.
