Tottenham leapfrog Man Utd and Chelsea in race for Bournemouth star

Tottenham Hotspur are in advanced talks to sign Marcos Senesi this summer, with the defender emerging as a key target ahead of the next transfer window.

The North London club are currently leading the race to secure the Bournemouth centre-back, who is set to become a free agent when his contract expires.

While negotiations are progressing, no agreement has been finalised, and there remains interest from other clubs monitoring Senesi’s situation.

Any potential deal is expected to depend on Tottenham retaining their Premier League status, with the club currently battling to avoid relegation.

Spurs sit inside the bottom three with only a handful of matches remaining, and their summer plans are closely tied to the outcome of that fight.

Senesi, who joined Bournemouth from Feyenoord in 2022, has re-established himself as a regular starter this season after a disrupted previous campaign.

The Argentine centre-back has made 30 league appearances this term, benefiting from increased opportunities following changes in Bournemouth’s defensive setup.

His performances have also earned him a return to international consideration, further boosting his profile ahead of the summer window.

Tottenham are understood to be targeting defensive reinforcements, with Senesi’s left-footed profile and composure in possession seen as valuable attributes.
