Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi on a free transfer.As The Athletic reported last month, Senesi has signed a four-year deal with the north London club after his contract and will officially join on July 1 when his Bournemouth terms expire.“From the first moment, the club has shown why they want me and how much they want me to be a part of what they are building,” Senesi said, via the club website. “It’s exciting and something I can’t wait to be involved in.”The Athletic reported in April that Roberto De Zerbi’s side were leading contenders for his signature, subject to maintaining their Premier League status, and had entered into advanced talks with the Argentinian.Spurs avoided relegation from the Premier League on the final day of the campaign, beating Everton 1-0 to ensure they finished two points above West Ham United in 18th.Senesi, 29, played in all but one of Bournemouth’s Premier League games this season, as Andoni Iraola’s side qualified for Europa League for the first time in their history. Iraola, however, confirmed he was leaving at the end of the 2025-26 campaign in April.Senesi joined Bournemouth in 2022 and made 128 appearances across the four seasons, registering six goals and ten assists.He played in two friendlies for Argentina over the course of the 2025-26 campaign and was named in Lionel Scaloni’s long list for the World Cup, but did not make the final squad for this summer’s tournament.Spurs are also in pole position to add Andy Robertson to their back line on a free transfer when the left-back’s Liverpool contract expires, also aided by their Premier League survival.What does this mean for Cristian Romero and others?Senesi’s arrival means that Spurs will have six senior centre-backs if you include Luka Vuskovic, who spent the 2025-26 season on loan with Hamburg in Germany.Senesi will provide cover and competition for Micky van de Ven on the left side of defence. Van de Ven’s biggest strengths are his remarkable recovery speed and powerful surging runs, whereas Senesi is excellent at playing line-breaking passes. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi can pick and choose which profile is best depending on the opposition, or pair them together.
