Tottenham have decided to recall United States defender Cameron Carter-Vickers from his loan spell at Stoke next week.
The 21-year-old joined the Potters on a season-long deal in August but the Premier League club have decided to end the arrangement early.
Carter-Vickers, who spent last season at Swansea, has made 15 appearances for Stoke this term.
His spell at the Bet365 Stadium will now officially end on January 2.
Stoke wrote on Twitter: "The club would like to take this opportunity to thank Cameron for his efforts and wish him every success for the future."
The news comes a day after Spurs decided to recall Jack Clarke from his loan spell with Leeds United, having been afforded just 19 minutes of league football this season.
Chief executive Angus Kinnear confirmed Tottenham's decision in his programme notes for Boxing Day's Championship game against Preston North End.
"We thank Jack Clarke for his services and wish him the best of luck in his career as Spurs have confirmed, due to lack of playing time, he will be recalled in the January window," Kinnear wrote.
