The Virgil van Dijk claim about Celtic ace Cameron Carter-Vickers that Tottenham could rue

Tottenham defender Cameron Carter-Vickers has been rewarded for his fine Celtic form by earning a place in the PFA Scotland Team of the Year. Heading to Celtic Park on the final day of the summer transfer window, the centre-back has been a major hit for Ange Postecoglou's men and has played an integral role in Celtic leading the way in the Scottish Premiership.

Six points ahead of fierce rivals Rangers in the table with four games of the campaign left to play, Carter-Vickers looks on course to add a league title to his CV after already winning the Scottish League Cup with his loan club earlier in the season. If indeed they do end up winning the league title back off Rangers, the 24-year-old's winner in the Old Firm derby at Ibrox at the start of April could prove decisive.

Carter-Vickers has gone from strength to strength at Celtic since heading away from Tottenham on loan for the seventh time, playing the full 90 minutes in his 28 league appearances and making 41 in total for the Scottish giants. His success in the East End of Glasgow could also spell the end of his time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Celtic do have a clause in their deal to make his move permanent, something which does appear to be a no-brainer.

Celtic will be in the driving seat for his signature, although reports have indicated that some Premier League clubs are also keen on a deal for Carter-Vickers going on his form north of the border.
