# Wolves: Cameron Carter-Vickers summer move eyed

**Wolves are reportedly eyeing up a summer move for Tottenham Hotspur defender Cameron Carter-Vickers.**

### The Lowdown: Kilman out?

Chelsea are [reportedly](https://twitter.com/talkSPORT/status/1495688734154661890?s=20&t=72YtfqHY8Sj1XeInpwKV3w) considering a move for Max Kilman in the summer, and as a boyhood Blues fan, it may be too hard for him to turn down.

That would mean that the Midlands club would have to dip into the market for a new centre-back, if they had not planned to do so already, given the [injuries](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wolverhampton-wanderers/ausfallzeiten/verein/543) they have had in that position so far this term.

### The Latest: Carter-Vickers in?

As per [TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/tottenham-hotspur/cameron-carter-vickers-transfer-demand-spurs-loan-star-west-ham-premier-league-quintet-celtic), Wolves are among a number of clubs who are monitoring the progress of Carter-Vickers ahead of a potential swoop in the summer.

Leicester City, West Ham United, Burnley and Watford are doing the same, while Middlesbrough, West Brom and Bournemouth are also showing interest.

However, Celtic want to sign him on a permanent deal from Spurs after his loan at Parkhead expires, and they have negotiated an option-to-buy which is worth more than £10m including add-ons.

### The Verdict: No-brainer

Given the [injuries](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wolverhampton-wanderers/ausfallzeiten/verein/543) that Bruno Lage’s team have had at centre-back, and the rumours that Kilman could leave, it is surely a no-brainer for Wolves to try and snap up Carter-Vickers in the summer.

Described as ‘[quick](https://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/sport/19130330.woodgate-reveals-carter-vickers-heavily-list-middlesbrough-boss/)‘ by his former Bournemouth manager Jonathan Woodgate, the American is unusually fast for a man of his [6 foot 1](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/profil/spieler/341049) stature. He can also execute the ‘ugly’ side of the game, as former Lilywhites teammate Jan Vertonghen even went as far as to call him a ‘[beast](https://www.90min.com/posts/3844139-jan-vertonghen-deems-young-spurs-defender-cameron-carter-vickers-a-beast)‘ when the 24-year-old was coming through the ranks in north London.

Dubbed ‘[excellent](https://twitter.com/chris_sutton73/status/1456378811675811841)‘ this season by former Hoops striker Chris Sutton, Carter-Vickers is currently ranking as the joint-seventh best player in the Scottish Premiership, and the best centre-back ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Regions/253/Tournaments/20/Seasons/8636/Stages/19821/PlayerStatistics/Scotland-Premiership-2021-2022)); and with his contract [expiring](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/profil/spieler/341049), now is the best time for the Old Gold to pounce.
