Why Tottenham Signed Free Agent Center Back Marcos Senesi

Marcos Senesi is signing for Tottenham Hotspur, after agreeing to join the north London club when his Bournemouth contract expires at the end of the month.

Senesi, a key part of Bournemouth’s outstanding 2025–26 season, was considered an attractive free agent but has quickly been taken off the market by a club desperate to recruit aggressively in the hope of improving on back-to-back 17th-place Premier League finishes.

The Argentine center back is already Spurs’ second free transfer of the summer, following in the footsteps of departing Liverpool left back Andy Robertson.

While Robertson is yet to be assigned a jersey, Senesi has been handed the No. 5 shirt. The length of the contract has not been formally disclosed but was previously reported as four years, up to the end of the 2029–30 Premier League season. Already age 29, he will be 33 by then.
