Overview
- Tottenham officially announced Senesi’s free transfer on Wednesday and said the 29-year-old will join the club on July 1, wear the No.5 shirt, and complete registration pending international clearance.
- Argentina confirmed a late World Cup call-up to replace the injured Leonardo Balerdi on Thursday, meaning Senesi’s arrival for Spurs’ early pre-season sessions is uncertain and will depend on Argentina’s tournament progress.
- Head coach Roberto De Zerbi and sporting director Johan Lange described Senesi as a left-footed, ball-playing centre-back who offers composure in possession, formation flexibility, and leadership.
- Senesi leaves Bournemouth after four seasons and 128 appearances, during which he scored six goals and provided around 10 assists, and he rejected new contract offers before moving to north London.
- The signing continues De Zerbi’s summer rebuild following two 17th-place finishes and heavy goals conceded, follows Andy Robertson’s arrival, coincides with Ben Davies’ one-year extension and Yves Bissouma’s exit, and could reshuffle Tottenham’s centre-back pecking order.
