Carter-Vickers Linked Again - Ipswich Town News
Former Blues loanee Cameron Carter-Vickers is again being linked with a return to Portman Road.
According to The Sun on Sunday, his parent club Tottenham Hotspur are willing to send the US international back to Town on loan for the second half of the season with his opportunities having been limited during his spell at Swansea, which is currently due to run to the end of the campaign.
The 21-year-old, who it’s reported will make a decision on his future this week, has made only six starts and five sub appearances for the Swans and was an unused sub as they drew 1-1 at Preston yesterday.
Blues boss Lambert is said to have made an enquiry regarding the Southend-born defender, who made 17 appearances for the Blues in a highly-successful loan spell during the second half of last season.
As previously reported, Carter-Vickers was on Lambert’s list of potential targets going into January, however, with James Collins having been recruited on a free transfer towards the end of last week, Town signing another central defender seems less likely.
Speaking after yesterday’s 1-0 victory over Rotherham, Lambert also played down the chances of adding another loanee to his squad.
The still-ongoing move to recruit Alan Judge, 30, from Brentford would see the Republic of Ireland international join the Blues on a full-time basis.
