Sources: Celtic make Cameron Carter-Vickers transfer decision as West Ham news emerges

Celtic will block offers for Cameron Carter-Vickers this month amid interest from Premier League sides, sources have told Football Insider.Speaking to the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track Podcast, transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke revealed the Hoops “wouldn’t consider” selling the centre-back, who they value at £20million.

The USMNT international is reportedly gaining interest from West Ham United, Nottingham Forest and Brentford this month, but Celtic are expected to knock back any offers in January.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have had issues in their backline this season and feel they can’t afford to depart with one of their best defensive options – even for a huge fee.

The 26-year-old has been a standout for the Hoops since his arrival, initially on loan, from Tottenham in 2021.

He arrived permanently for a reported fee of £6million, but the Hoops would expect to make a significant profit if interest remains in later windows.

Injuries have forced him to miss 12 games in all competitions this season, including Celtic’s most recent league games against Rangers and St Mirren.

Should Celtic secure their £20million valuation for Carter-Vickers, he would be amongst the club’s record departures – the top being Jota’s reported £25million move to Al Ittihad in the summer.

Celtic remain at the top of the league and have an eight-point gap ahead of second-place Rangers.

They are next in action against fifth-tier Buckie Thistle in the Scottish Cup on Sunday afternoon (21 January).
