Wolves have been rather impressive in terms of their defensive output in the Premier League this season with just 20 goals conceded in 25 games, leaving only Chelsea and Manchester City with a better record in that department.

Despite this, it seems as though the Midlands club have identified one player that could come in and potentially strengthen their defensive depth.

What's the news?

According to a recent report from TEAMtalk, Wolves are one of the clubs interested in making a move to sign Tottenham Hotspur defender Cameron Carter-Vickers, who is currently picking up a weekly wage of £22k-per-week according to Salary Sport.

As a product of Spurs' youth academy, the 24-year-old has had loan spells at clubs such as Sheffield United, Ipswich Town, Swansea City, Stoke City, Luton Town, AFC Bournemouth and Celtic, where he currently is.

Having played the second-highest amount of minutes in the SPFL this season out of any outfield Celtic player, the centre-back has earned himself an impressive overall performance rating of 7.33/10 from WhoScored, making him the fourth-highest rated player at the Scottish club to have started more than five league games.

As well as his impressive overall performances, the centre-back, who has been described as "mature" by Hoops manager Ange Postecoglou and "incredible" by Graeme Jones, has also shown what a capable defender he is by racking up more clearances in the league than any other player at the Parkhead club with an average of 4.7 per game.

From a Wolves point of view, only Romain Saiss (5.3) has managed to rack up a higher average of clearances in the Premier League this season, showing that the Spurs player would be capable of slotting into the Old Gold's backline.

In addition to this, if the Midlands club were to make a swoop for Carter-Vickers in the summer when his Celtic loan ends, this could give Jeff Shi the chance to finally get rid of one of the current centre-backs at Molineux that hasn't been a particularly prominent figure for Lage this season.

At 31-years-old, Willy Boly - who has played 137 total games for the club - has not made a single appearance in the Premier League this season due to some injury issues, which have apparently left the defender "frustrated" according to Lage, as well as the solid form of Saiss, Conor Coady and Max Kilman.

With that in mind, it could be worth Wolves bringing in the 6 foot 1 Tottenham loanee in the summer as a potential long-term replacement for Boly if they think it's the right time to bring his time at the club to an end.
