# West Ham: Irons keen on signing Cameron Carter-Vickers

**West Ham are interested in signing Tottenham centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers, according to a fresh transfer rumour which has emerged.**

### The Lowdown: Carter-Vickers on loan in Scotland

The 24-year-old joined Celtic on loan last summer, with Spurs not being able to promise him regular playing time at the heart of their defence.

Carter-Vickers has impressed for the Scottish giants, making [22 Premiership starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/301029/Show/Cameron-Carter-Vickers) and scoring two goals along the way.

With his long-term future seemingly lying away from Spurs, a permanent move appears to be on the cards this summer, and the USA international is not without suitors.

### The Latest: West Ham eye up move for Carter-Vickers

According to [TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/tottenham-hotspur/cameron-carter-vickers-transfer-demand-spurs-loan-star-west-ham-premier-league-quintet-celtic), West Ham are among several teams interested in making a move for Carter-Vickers, with the [expiration](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/cameron-carter-vickers/profil/spieler/341049) of his contract this summer meaning that he will be available on a free transfer.

As many as five Premier League clubs are mentioned in the report, with Leicester City, Wolves, Burnley and Watford all seen as potential suitors along with the Irons.

### The Verdict: Plenty to like about Carter-Vickers

While Carter-Vickers hasn’t necessarily hit the heights expected of him at Spurs, he remains a youthful defender with plenty of potential, making him an exciting target for the Hammers.

He has won [4.5 aerial duels](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/301029/Show/Cameron-Carter-Vickers) per game in the Scottish top flight this season and an 89.4% pass completion rate, highlighting his strength in the air and composure on the ball. Indeed, Hoops manager Ange Postecoglou has [hailed the American](https://thecelticstar.com/celtics-unsung-heroes-cameron-carter-vickers-and-greg-taylor-earn-managers-praise/) as having “a real strong, calming influence” on the team at Parkhead.

With Angelo Ogbonna [likely to depart](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-transfer-rumours/west-ham-angelo-ogbonna-could-join-lazio-this-summer/) in the summer, Carter-Vickers could come in as a good squad player to battle the likes of Kurt Zouma, Issa Diop and Craig Dawson for minutes at West Ham, hopefully becoming a key player at the London Stadium further down the line.
