Ahead of Saturday’s clash with Derby County, Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder completing the loan signing of Tottenham Hotspur youngster Cameron Carter-Vickers.
The 19 year old defender comes in on a season long loan and will provide cover for Richard Stearman with him being out for around the six to eight weeks mark.
He was on the substitutes bench for the victory over Derby at the weekend, but he awaits his debut and he has represented the United States at three underage levels.
Last season he made his Tottenham debut under Mauricio Pochettino in their League Cup third round tie against Gillingham at White Hart Lane.
Speaking to the Official Site as his signing was announced, Wilder explained.
‘Cameron is young, athletic and highly-rated by Tottenham and we’re delighted we’ve been trusted to continue his development. He is a central defender with a good attitude and adds competition for places in that area. I like the way Tottenham play and it’s clear that Cameron has the ability to be a very good player.’
