West Ham keen on signing Cameron Carter-Vickers from Celtic | OneFootball

West Ham are reportedly keen on bringing Cameron Carter-Vickers into their club this summer. The Hammers, who recently replaced David Moyes with Julen Lopetegui, are looking to rebuild under the Spaniard and build a team capable of challenging for European spaces for next season.

As reported by HITC, Celtic’s star defender is a target for the Irons this summer. Despite having five years remaining on his deal, the report states that West Ham are interested in signing him.

Celtic signed the player on loan on deadline day in the summer of 2021 as Ange Postecoglou bolstered his backline and his performances impressed with fans clamouring for a permanent deal. Celtic obliged and took up the option, paying Spurs £6m for the assured stopper. The 26-year-old is a key figure in the Celtic dressing room, taking the vice captaincy, meaning that the club will be extremely keen to keep him at the club.

The report states that Fulham and Ipswich Town are also keen on the USA Internationalist. However, given that he has a long term deal at Celtic and is seemingly extremely settled in Glasgow, it would be unlikely that the player could be tempted by the lure of the Premier League.

Celtic will be keen to retain the defender and find him a long term partner, rather than opting to sell him. Although, if they did, he would command £20m+ for the ex-Spurs defender.

CCV has made 115 appearances for Celtic, scoring 6 goals and assisting on 2 occasions. In this time, he has won seven trophies as Celtic have won 3IAR.
