CELTIC have agreed to personal terms on a permanent deal with defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, according to reports.
The 24-year-old centre-half, on loan from Tottenham this season, was a stand out performer as the Hoops regained the Premiership title.
He was a regular at the back and scored one of the most important goals of the campaign in the 2-1 win against Rangers in April.
Ange Postecoglou was desperate to keep him at Parkhead and, according to the , the two parties have agreed to personal terms on a deal that will do just that.
It's claimed the defender has his heart set on staying in Glasgow for the upcoming season.
It was reported earlier that Celtic had been given until June 15 to seal the deal and pay £6m to Tottenham for the American international.
That fee could rise to £10m with add-ons, however.
If the two clubs can't co-ordinate before then, Spurs will allow other suitors to move in.
A long list of clubs down south have been quoted as having interest in Carter-Vickers, including Bournemouth, Everton, Fulham, Newcastle and Southampton.
Carter-Vickers was included in the PFA Team of the Year and was on the shortlist for Scottish Football Writers’ Player of the Year but lost out to Hearts and Scotland ace Craig Gordon.
