5 players Tottenham Hotspur should sell in January

#1 Cameron Carter-Vickers

Once an exciting youth prospect, Carter-Vickers has since slipped down the pecking order at Spurs. Although he's been given ample opportunities out on loan with Championship clubs, he has returned without making any sort of impression.

Some critics have argued that what lets the 20-year-old down is his burly frame, which hinders his speed and acceleration. This means that quick, agile strikers have it easy when they come up against him, as they can simply skip past knowing that he won't catch up.

If the Premier League was difficult for him, then the Championship must surely be crushing his confidence. The rapid style of play means that defenders must always be on their toes, ready to dash to-and-fro. But because Carter-Vickers lacks this ability, he tends to get caught out frequently.

He's made seven appearances for Swansea City so far this season, who sit 12th in the Championship. The fact that he's made little to no progress over the last couple of seasons is a major red flag for any parent club - especially one the size of Tottenham. I don't think it would come as a surprise to anyone to see Carter-Vickers get shipped out soon - if not in January, then at the end of the season.

Where might Cameron Carter-Vickers go?

Although he's currently out on loan with Swansea, Spurs can still set up a future transfer in January, perhaps for the summer. Whilst the 20-year-old hasn't been officially linked with a club as of yet, the most likely destination for him is the Championship. The Premier League is simply too good for him at this stage in his career. And unless he shows some signs of improvement soon, he'll be in deep trouble.
