Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur are leading the race to sign Bournemouth centre-back Marcos Senesi on a free transfer<\/a> next summer, as per David Ornstein<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The North London club are having a season to forget, currently sitting in 18th place with just 30 points, two less than West Ham<\/a> United, who climbed out of the relegation zone for the first time since December following their emphatic 4-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.<\/p>\n Tottenham have now gone four months without securing a Premier League<\/a> victory, and their defeat to Sunderland on Sunday marked their 16th loss in 32 matches this season, leaving them facing a genuine threat of relegation for the first time since 1977.<\/p>\n Amid their poor form, there\u2019s growing optimism about their top-flight status, as they\u2019ve been planning summer arrivals for next season.<\/p>\n In recent days, Football Talk<\/a> has relayed reports from authority sources revealing Spurs\u2019 interest in Liverpool\u2019s Andy Robertson<\/a>, Brighton & Hove Albion\u2019s Bart Verbruggen,<\/a> and Bournemouth\u2019s Marcos Senesi<\/a>, claiming the North London club are making the \u2018strongest push\u2019 to sign him.<\/p>\n It appears Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s side is accelerating efforts to wrap up a deal, as David Ornstein<\/em>, in a new report, claims that Tottenham are in \u2018advanced talks\u2019 to sign Senesi on a free transfer from Bournemouth next summer.<\/p>\n However, despite leading other interested clubs in the race for the 6ft 1in centre-back, the reputable transfer expert reports that an agreement with Bournemouth has not been reached, and the deal now largely hinges on their survival status at the end of the season.<\/p>\n Although Tottenham are well-stocked at centre-back with the likes of\u00a0Micky van de Ven,\u00a0Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin, incessant injuries to their first-team regulars have seen them depleted for most of the season, with their captain Romero recently ruled out for the rest of the season with a high-grade partial tear of his medial cruciate ligament<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old is also reportedly drawing keen interest ahead of next summer, with speculations swirling that this could be his last season at the club.<\/p>\n Romanian centre-back Dragusin is also facing an uncertain future at the club, having played only 580 minutes of football in all competitions this season.<\/p>\n Senesi would be a sensible option to step in should any of their current options depart, as he possesses the on-ball qualities and defensive solidity to thrive under De Zerbi\u2019s system.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Rememore](\"https:\/\/football-talk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FootballTalk_New_Chapter-rememore.png\")
