Tottenham Hotspur have locked down Argentine defender Marcos Senesi on a four-year contract, handing the 29-year-old the iconic number 5 shirt. The deal, completed as a free transfer from AFC Bournemouth, makes Senesi the second summer arrival at the North London club following full-back Andy Robertson.
Jan Vertonghen, one of the most decorated centre-backs in the club’s modern history, previously wore the number 5 shirt.
The deal breakdown
Senesi’s contract with Bournemouth expires on July 1, at which point he officially becomes a Tottenham player. The agreement was finalized in early June 2026.
Senesi originally moved to the Premier League from Feyenoord in August 2022, signing a four-year deal with Bournemouth at the time. His performances across the 2025/26 season reportedly attracted attention from multiple clubs, but Spurs ultimately won the race.
