Promising Tottenham Hotspur defender Cameron Carter-Vickers joins Bournemouth on loan
Championship side Bournemouth has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur defender, Cameron Carter-Vickers has joined the club on a season-long loan.
The 22-year-old will have more chances to feature regularly in the first-team with the Cherries in comparison to North London. Tottenham also have an option to recall the defender in January if they choose to do so.
Carter-Vickers came through the Tottenham youth academy. The centre-back made his first-team debut back in 2016. However, he has made just four appearances for the senior side so far.
The 22-year-old has had loan spells at Swansea City, Ipswich Town, Stoke City, Luton Town and Sheffield United in the past.
He spent the first half of the 2019/20 season on loan at Stoke. He then joined Luton for the second half of the term and played an integral role as they managed to stave off the threat of relegation from the English second-tier.
Although Carter-Vickers has impressed, he is not a part of the plans that Jose Mourinho has drawn up at Tottenham. He had previously been informed to find a new club by the North London outfit. (h/t Herts Live)
Considering he was not a part of our first-team plans, sending him out on loan seems like the logical option. Also by including a recall option, Spurs have a readymade option to call upon if needed.
The youngster is not the only defender out on loan for Spurs. Fellow 22-year-old centre-back Juan Foyth also left on a season-long spell at Spanish side Villareal.

A full international for the United States of America, Carter-Vickers has the ability to be a decent defender for a mid-table side.
Having signed Joe Rodon, Spurs are now stocked for the foreseeable future. The loan away will give Carter-Vickers the chance to audition for a move elsewhere.
