Money talks, but not as much as the players themselves, it seems, and with Tottenham very vocal in their search for a centre-back, lips are being loosened more than usual.

Antonio Conte has made little secret of the fact his first-choice target is former Inter Milan cohort Alessandro Bastoni. But the Italian has told Corriere Dello Sport that he has no plans to leave Serie A despite additional interest from Manchester United.

Conte will be disappointed but not deterred for long, having already identified Gleison Bremer of Torino as an alternate. But his fixation on finding a third centre-back has had an impact on players already at the club.

Cameron Carter-Vickers believes the writing is on the wall for a career at Tottenham having made just four cup appearances in six years.

While a rich stream of academy players have forced their way to the first team at White Hart Lane, the American has been farmed out on a series of loans. Now, after the giant defender enjoyed a successful season north of the border at Celtic, he is hoping to make the move permanent.

“It has been kind of difficult going out on loan, but I have really enjoyed it at Celtic,” he told the Scottish Sun. “I am 24 now and want to be somewhere where I can settle for a few years. Me and my agent have been talking to the club throughout the season about what’s going to happen at the end of the season.”
