Derby County are reportedly set to sign Spurs star Cameron Carter-Vickers when the youngster is recalled from his Stoke City loan spell.

Vickers, according to the Guardian, will be sent straight back out on loan by Spurs, this time to Derby.

Spurs have called time on his loan at Stoke City and he will return tomorrow after making 15 appearances for Stoke, including 14 starts, since joining the Championship strugglers in August.

In that time he has been used in a conventional back two, a back three and at right-back.

However, the 21-year-old has struggled for game time under new Stoke boss Michael O’Neill , playing just twice since the Irishman took over at the bet365 Stadium - defeats to Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers.

Carter Vickers has not featured in the matchday squad for Stoke’s last five games, and given his lack of first-team football, Tottenham have decided to take him back.

A statement on Stoke's official website read: "The club would like to take this opportunity to thank Cameron for his efforts and wish him every success for the future."

Carter-Vickers has also spent time on loan at Sheffield United, Ipswich Town and Swansea City in recent seasons.

It is understood Tottenham are ready to ship out the defender on a permanent basis, but are looking for up to £4m for the youngster.

Derby will likely take a look at the youngster first to see if he fits the bill.

The Rams were reportedly hoping to land the young defender in the summer, but they faced fierce competition with a number of Championship clubs bidding for his signature.
