Everton make decision on Celtic star with future transfer on the cards - reliable journalist

Everton were expected to make an inquiry into signing Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers but opted against it, according to Larry Henry Jr.

The SBI Soccer editor and journalist claims that the Toffees looked at other options instead of the United States centre-back.

It’s understood that the Merseyside club could revisit the deal in January and look to sign the 26-year-old in 2025.

Cameron Carter-Vickers would be a quality addition to the Everton side

Carter-Vickers’ experience in high-pressure environments, having played a pivotal role in Celtic’s domestic successes, would bring a winning mentality to the Toffees, a team looking to climb up the Premier League table.

His defensive solidity, highlighted by his performances in the Scottish Premiership where he’s been described as one of the best defenders, would bolster Everton’s backline, which has been inconsistent.

Moreover, the American’s ability on the ball and his contribution to building play from the back would offer Sean Dyche a different tactical option, aiming to control matches rather than just defend.

His international experience with the USMNT also adds a layer of adaptability and exposure to different tactical setups, which could be beneficial in the dynamic Premier League.

The club opted to sign Jake O’Brien this summer so it makes sense why they didn’t pursue Carter-Vickers.

Celtic are aiming to keep him so if the Merseyside club revisit this in the winter, they may have to convince them to sell.

In other Everton news, the Toffees have been given the green signal as talks have been held for a new £12.7m transfer.
