Tottenham<\/a> have signed defender Marcos Senesi on a free transfer following his departure from Bournemouth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old will officially complete his move to the Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> Stadium on 1 July, subject to international clearance.<\/p>\n

Senesi, capped three times by Argentina, decided to leave Bournemouth<\/a> earlier in the season after rejecting three contract offers from the club<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The centre-back – who was not included in Argentina’s squad for this summer’s World Cup – said it was a “very special feeling” to join the 2025 Europa League winners. <\/p>\n

“From the first moment, the club has shown why they want me and how much they want me to be a part of what they are building. It’s exciting and something I can’t wait to be involved in,” added Senesi, who spent four years at Bournemouth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Every time I step on the pitch, I will do my best to make the fans proud and to take the club back to the place it belongs. I want to win things with Tottenham<\/a> and will do everything I can to make that happen.”<\/p>\n

The former San Lorenzo and Feyenoord defender is Tottenham<\/a>‘s second summer signing after Andy Robertson also joined on a free transfer from Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wales defender Ben Davies, 33, has also agreed a new one-year contract<\/a> to stay at the club.<\/p>\n

Manager Roberto de Zerbi said Senesi, who will wear the number five shirt, will “strengthen” his side defensively after back-to-back 17th-placed finishes in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

“He’s comfortable playing in a possession-based team, reads the game very well and has the personality to thrive in a demanding environment,” added the Italian.<\/p>\n

“I also love his mentality and desire to keep improving and I’m looking forward to working with him and seeing the big contribution he can make to the team.”<\/p>\n

Tottenham<\/a> have also announced out-of-contract midfielder Yves Bissouma, 29, will leave this summer.<\/p>\n

He joined in 2022 from Brighton<\/a> in a reported \u00a330m deal and made 90 Premier League appearances for Spurs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tottenham have signed defender Marcos Senesi on a free transfer following his departure from Bournemouth.
