An up-and-coming American defender has signed a new deal with his club.
Tottenham announced on Thursday that 18-year-old defender Cameron Carter-Vickers has signed a new deal with the Premier League side until 2019.
Carter-Vickers made his first start for Spurs during their 5-0 win over Gillingham in the third round of the EFL Cup. He was also on the bench for Tottenham’s first match of the Champions League group stage against Monaco.
The American is thought to be held in high regard by manager Mauricio Pochettino, who claims that Carter-Vickers can be “one of the best centerbacks in England” in the future.

Carter-Vickers has represented the U.S. at the U-18, U-20 and U-23 levels for a total of 29 caps, but has yet to earn a call-up to the senior team.
What do you think of Carter-Vickers’ latest performances? Do you see a call-up to the U.S. Men’s National Team in the near future?
