Cameron Carter-Vickers has been crucial to the Celtic backline since joining the club in 2021 and other clubs are beginning to take notice.
West Ham United, Nottingham Forest, and Brentford are all interested in acquiring Carter-Vickers from Celtic, a source close to the player confirmed to SBI. All three clubs are keen in bolstering their backlines and Carter-Vickers’ impressive two seasons in Scotland have led to growing interest this window.
Carter-Vickers originally joined Celtic on a season-long loan from Tottenham in August 2021, proceeding to win the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup that season. The American defender’s move became permanent in June 2022 and he later led Celtic to a domestic treble last season.
He has made 101 combined appearances for Celtic over two-and-a-half seasons, scoring five goals and adding two assists. The 26-year-old was named to the SPFL Best XL in both 2022 and 2023, which has led to his USMNT return.
Carter-Vickers has earned eight of his 16 total caps over the last two years, most memorably logging 90 minutes in the USMNT’s 1-0 group stage victory over Iran at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. That triumph helped the Americans reach the knockout stage before suffering a Round of 16 exit at the hands of the Netherlands.
He most recently featured in both of the USMNT’s CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal matches vs. Trinidad & Tobago last fall.
He last featured for Celtic on Boxing Day against Dundee FC before a hamstring injury forced him to miss back-to-back victories over Rangers and St. Mirren.
West Ham are sixth in the English Premier League standings and remain in the UEFA Europa League competition. Both Nottingham Forest and Brentford are in the bottom half of the league table, sitting in 15th and 16th places respectively.
A move to Nottingham Forest would team Carter-Vickers up with fellow USMNT teammate, Matt Turner.
