Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi.

The 28-year-old will be out of contract at the end of the season, and they have identified him as a priority target. According to a report from Fichajes, they have now emerged as the ‘main candidate’ to sign the Argentina defender. The report confirms that Tottenham have excellent relationship with his agents.

Senesi to replace Romero

Cristian Romero has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season, and the 28-year-old has been identified as his replacement. It remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.

Senesi has been a reliable performer in the Premier League, and signing him for free would be a masterstroke. He could settle in quickly and make an immediate impact at the north London club. The move to Tottenham will be a step up in his career, and he will look to compete for trophies with them.

It has been a disappointing season for Tottenham, and they will look to bounce back strongly next year. They need quality signing in order to do well. They have looked vulnerable at the back at times, and they need to improve there.

Can Spurs win the race for Marcos Senesi?

Losing their best defender would be a blow, and it remains to be seen whether they can replace them properly. Senesi has the quality to do well for Tottenham, and it remains to be seen whether they can convince the Argentine to join. He has also been linked to clubs like Barcelona and Chelsea. He is likely to have multiple options on the table in the summer when he is out of contract. Tottenham must do everything in their power to convince him.
