Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers has impressed fans since his arrival from Tottenham on a season-long loan.
The 23-year-old has struck up a good partnership with Carl Starfelt, and the pairing has only conceded three league goals in the games they have played together this campaign.
Some supporters on Twitter would like the Hoops to snap up Carter-Vickers on a permanent basis at the end of the season:
I think we sometimes forget this man is only 23 I believe. Some career ahead of him if we manage to sign him up!

Him and Starfelt have been a cracking duo. The rumoured £10m is £7m more than I'd like us to fork out for him mind.

Him & Starfelt have both been in great form

There have been claims that Spurs are demanding as much as £10m for the American international, including add-ons, but those stories have not been substantiated. It’s highly unlikely that Celtic would have agreed an option to buy if Carter-Vickers cost that much to sign.
In any case, while the centre-back has made an impression, he may soon have competition for his place, with Christopher Jullien (hopefully) close to returning to match action after spending over a year on the sidelines with a knee injury.
