Dr Rajpal Brar said that if the sale goes through, Celtic defender Cameron Carter-Vickers should pass his physical at West Ham.
According to the injury specialist, he played the most of the season following his hamstring setback from the previous season, which was only a Grade 1.

Brar, a sports scientist and physical therapy specialist, exclusively spoke with West Ham Zone.
This past season, he experienced hamstring issues, which should have been noted in the pre-transfer examinations.
“These appear to be grade 1 hamstring injuries based on the chronology, so I don’t think they would present any concerns with his medical.
“He is in his mid-20s and did manage to play for the majority of the season, so these are all positives for the club signing him.”

They want to improve their defence, which was among the worst in the Premier League the previous year, under Julen Lopetegui.
Despite his achievements in Scotland, Carter-Vickers has not yet shown his mettle in the elite division of English football.
Therefore, even though he is a possibility, the club will probably look into defenders from the Premier League or the top five European leagues before making a formal agreement.
