da esport bet: Wolves are reportedly interested in making a move for Tottenham’s on-loan centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers this summer.
The Lowdown: Carter-Vickers impressing at Celtic
da brdice: The American couldn’t be promised regular playing time at Spurs last year, given the battle for game-time, so Celtic snapped him up on a season-long loan deal, with a £10m purchase option if they wish to avail of it.
Carter-Vickers has excelled for the Hoops in 2021/22, proving to be a rock at the heart of the defence and averaging 4.2 successful aerial duels per game across 29 Scottish Premiership appearances. For context, that is 50% more than Wolves’ best performer in this regard, Willy Boly with 2.8.
There looks set to be a fight for the 24-year-old’s signature this summer, with Celtic reportedly keen on making his temporary move a permanent one.

The Verdict: Strong summer coup
Carter-Vickers could be a fantastic signing for Wolves ahead of next season, adding much-needed squad depth for Bruno Lage and coming in as a long-term acquisition.
Romain Saiss turns 32 this year and hasn’t yet signed a new deal ahead of its summer expiry date, while Conor Coady has been linked with a move away in recent months.

Carter-Vickers has been hailed as ‘immense’ by Chris Sutton and he is someone who, as outlined above, would add aerial dominance and hopefully makes Wolves even more well-drilled defensively.
