Ruthless Antonio Conte is ready to wield the axe on SEVEN Tottenham players ahead of their looming assault on next season's Champions League.
But Celtic loan star Cameron Carter Vickers isn't named among the "bomb squad" - a term given to out of favour players within dressing rooms.
The Daily Mail have revealed a clutch of unwanted names are set for the exit door, however, it's understood the Parkhead hero will almost certainly join them.
Record Sport revealed the USA international has agreed personal terms with Celtic.
Discussions are underway with Tottenham to strike a permanent deal in the region of an initial £6m.
Carter–Vickers is set be followed out the door by Harry Winks – if Conte's side can find a buyer willing to pay £25m for the England international.
But the departures won't stop there as outcasts Tanguy Ndombele, Bryan Gil and Giovanni Lo Celso will be allowed to find new clubs.
And there will be no place moving forward for the likes of Sergio Reguilon, Joe Rodon and Steve Bergwijn who are free to seek their next move.
Carter–Vickers joined Celtic on deadline day last summer and the Premiership champions are in pole position to secure his services permanently with a deadline set for next month.
The stopper was away from Spurs before the Italian's arrival and he will now exit for good with one year remaining on his deal at the Tottenham Stadium.
