Tottenham<\/a> Hotspur have reached an agreement to sign Bournemouth\u2019s centre-back Marcos Senesi on a free transfer<\/a> in the summer, as per Florian Plettenberg<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Last season, Senesi was not a regular starter for Bournemouth, as Andoni Iraola preferred the pair of Dean Huijsen and Ilya Zabarnyi, who both\u00a0played 31 Premier League<\/a> games together and accumulated 1.66 points per game.<\/p>\n His fortunes changed this season when the duo departed to join Real Madrid<\/a> and Paris Saint-Germain, respectively. He has been a mainstay in the starting lineup, playing in 33 of Bournemouth\u2019s 34 Premier League games so far, providing five assists and creating 23 chances despite being a centre-back.<\/p>\n His on-ball qualities, along with standout defensive displays, have made him one of the most sought-after players in the coming summer transfer window, but it appears Tottenham are set to steal a march on other rivals to acquire the 28-year-old.<\/p>\n In recent days, Football Talk<\/a>, citing reputable transfer expert David Ornstein<\/em>, reported that Tottenham are in \u2018advanced talks\u2019 to sign Senesi<\/a>.<\/p>\n It appears the North Londoners have acted swiftly to complete the transfer, as a new report from Florian Plettenberg<\/em> claims that Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s side have reached an agreement in principle for the Argentine\u2019s transfer to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the summer.<\/p>\n The 6ft 1in centre-back has pledged to join Spurs as a free agent at the end of the season, according to the journalist, in a big blow to other interested clubs.<\/p>\n However, Plettenberg<\/em> clarifies that nothing has been officially signed yet, and the transfer now depends on whether the Lilywhites retain their Premier League status at the end of the season.<\/p>\n While Tottenham have a well-bolstered centre-back unit that includes Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin, consistent injuries have left them depleted in most games, with Romero becoming the latest to be ruled out for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n There are fears the Spurs captain may have already played his final game for the club, as rumours about his potential departure have been rife since he openly called out the club\u2019s hierarchy\u2019s inactivity, calling it \u2018unbelievable but true and disgraceful\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n Should Romero depart, Senesi would be a logical option to replace his compatriot, not only for his leadership and defensive qualities, but also due to his composure in possession, highlighted by a 77.4% pass completion rate and 2,645 touches, the fourth-highest in the Premier League, making him a strong tactical fit for 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\")
