West Ham are reportedly ‘monitoring’ Tottenham defender Cameron Carter-Vickers.
The 24-year-old has been enjoying a superb loan spell at Celtic this season and has helped guide the Hoops to the summit of the Scottish Premiership.
That form has led to the Glasgow club negotiating an option-to-buy clause with Tottenham which is believed to be worth more than £10million.
That’s according to a report from TEAMtalk, as cited by Hotspurs News Alerts on Twitter.

The report claims that Leicester, Wolves, Burnley and Watford are also keen on the eight-cap USA international.
This season Carter-Vickers – described as being ‘mature beyond his years’ by Ange Postecogolou – has earned an impressive 7.36 average Sofascore rating from 22 Scottish top-flight outings.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Valved at £2.7million (Transfermarkt), signing the Southend-born ace for the mooted fee of around £10million would be shrewd business.
Predominantly a centre-back but also capable of playing on either side as a full-back, Carter-Vickers would offer much-needed strength in depth to David Moyes’ defensive department.
Comfortable on the ball and with strong base fundamentals as a defender, it’s clear to see why the Hammers and others would be interested in the Celtic loan star.
As the sidelined Angelo Ogbonna faces an uncertain future, could Carter-Vickers be the man to fill the void?
