On-loan Tottenham Hotspur defender Cameron Carter-Vickers is wanted by several clubs.

The USMNT international, who has spent this season out on loan with Celtic, has enjoyed a successful campaign.

Having so far featured in 41 matches, in all competitions, Carter-Vickers, 24, has played a key role in the Hoops’ season, which looks destined to see them lift the Scottish Premiership title for the 52nd time.

Although Celtic would like to turn the 24-year-old’s move permanent, it could be back in England’s top-flight where the American finds his long-term future.

Alongside the Hammers, it has been reported that Leicester City, Wolves, Watford and Burnley are all also interested in the defender.

However, with both Watford and Burnley candidates to be relegated, the former trio are likely to be better positioned to secure his signature.

Speaking recently to GiveMeSport about the Tottenham Hotspur defender’s situation, journalist Dean Jones said: “In terms of Carter-Vickers, the player has not made a decision yet.

“It sounds to me like he would rather be in the Premier League if possible, but he needs to see what opportunities genuinely open up.”
