Burnley have joined the race to sign Tottenham Hotspur defender Cameron Carter-Vickers – but talks with Celtic are progressing in the right direction.
That’s according to the Daily Record, who claim that three Premier League sides are really keen to sign Carter-Vickers.
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City are keen whilst Burnley have joined the battle for the American defender.

Securing Carter-Vickers permanently after his winner at ibrox would be perfect for Celtic, and they will hope to have ad deal in place soon given the mounting Premier League interest.
