Cameron Carter-Vickers has officially left Tottenham Hotspur to join Celtic.

The USA international joined the Hoops on a season-long loan from Spurs last summer, helping Ange Postecoglou’s side reclaim the Scottish Premiership title.

Carter-Vickers was an ever-present figure for Celtic throughout the campaign, prompting Tottenham to slap a £10 million valuation on the player.

And although the Scots are only paying £6 million up front, an additional £4 million could be paid to the North Londoners on a later date, according to SBI Soccer.

Chris Sutton has been vocal in urging Celtic to sign the player on a permanent basis in recent months.

And here’s how the former Bhoy reacted to the announcement on Twitter:

For Cameron Carter-Vickers, this move to Parkhead will represent some long-awaited stability.

His original transfer to Celtic was the seventh loan spell that he’s had away from Tottenham since the 2017-18 campaign.

It’s been obvious for some time that the big centre-back has never had a serious future in North London as a Spurs player.

But his time in Glasgow over the past 12 months has illustrated that Carter-Vickers is an excellent defender nonetheless and, at 24, he’s only going to get considerably better.
