Cameron Carter-Vickers is expected to be sold by Tottenham this summer after falling down the pecking order. The 21-year-old has spent the season on loan at Swansea City as Mauricio Pochettino considers him surplus to requirements in the first-team. Carter-Vickers’ stint with Swansea has now ended, resulting in his returning to Spurs, but he isn’t likely to stay for long.
According to the Football Insider, the US international has a £5m asking price this summer. And according to Spotrac, he earns £1.04m-a-year/£20k-per-week at Tottenham. Carter-Vickers become a regular at Swansea during the second-half of the season, but whether they will look to make his stay permanent remains to be seen.
The defender initially struggled for minutes in the first three months of the campaign, with Carter-Vickers being an unused substitute early on, but he missed just one Championship outing in 2019 after finding his feet. At Tottenham, he’s managed only four appearances – the last of which came against Wycombe Wanderers in the FA Cup on January 28, 2017.
With Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Davinson Sanchez and Juan Foyth currently ahead of him, it’s hard to see Carter-Vickers playing for Spurs again. He’s admitted being open to a return to Swansea, so movement could be made in the coming weeks.
