Cameron Carter-Vickers has an uncertain future after struggling for playing time at Tottenham. The 21-year-old has made just four appearances in all competitions since rising through the youth ranks to the first-team in 2016 and could be moving on this summer as a result.
Due to finding himself low down the pecking order under Mauricio Pochettino, Carter-Vickers has been loaned out to Sheffield United (August 25, 2017 – January 15, 2018), Ipswich Town (January 19, 2018 – May 31, 2018) and Swansea City (August 25, 2018 – May 31, 2019).
He impressed at Swansea and admitted being interested in turning his loan deal permanent this summer. City’s assistant manager Billy Reid reciprocated the player’s feelings, revealing that he would like to work with Carter-Vickers in the future.
With Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Davinson Sanchez and Juan Foyth ahead of the US international in the pecking order, it’s hard to see Carter-Vickers having a future at Tottenham. The out-of-favour central defender hasn’t featured in the first-team since January 2017 and was sent on holiday early rather than be brought to Madrid for Spurs’ Champions League final.
The 21-year-old has a £5m asking price and may request wages around £1.04m-a-year/£20k-per-week. Carter-Vickers is open to a Swansea move, club staff want to bring him back and Tottenham may be open to selling. There’s no reason why City can’t land their centre-back on a permanent deal this summer.
