Bournemouth make enquiry for Tottenham ace Cameron Carter-Vickers
According to The Athletic, EFL Championship outfit Bournemouth have made an enquiry to Tottenham over the permanent transfer of defender Cameron Carter-Vickers this summer.
Carter-Vickers is a product of the Tottenham Hotspur youth academy. The centre-back made his senior debut for the club way back in 2016 but has featured just four times for so far. Instead, the 24-year-old has had loan spells away at Swansea City, Ipswich Town, Sheffield United, Stoke City and Luton Town in the past.
Carter-Vickers signed for Bournemouth on a season-long loan deal in the summer last year. And he enjoyed a decent campaign as the Cherries finished in the playoff places but couldn’t make it to the playoff finals. The centre-back featured in 26 games across all competitions, scoring one goal and setting up another. (h/t Transfermarkt)
With Carter-Vickers’ loan spell now over, he is back at Tottenham. While his contract with Tottenham was supposed to expire at the end of the 2020/21 season, the club are reported to have triggered a one-year extension option in order to protect his transfer value. (h/t Football.london)
And now, it is being claimed that Bournemouth, who are set for another season in the second division, are keen on signing Carter-Vickers on a permanent basis in the upcoming summer. To that end, the Cherries have now made contact with the north London giants (h/t The Athletic)
Bournemouth, though, are not the only club interested in the 24-year-old, with the USMNT ace also being pursued by Newcastle United, among other teams.
