According to Ben Jacobs, Tottenham are showing interest in Marcos Senesi.

Tottenham are stepping up their interest in Bournemouth centre-back Marcos Senesi as Thomas Frank looks to overhaul his defence ahead of the new campaign.

The Argentina international is approaching the final stretch of his contract at the Vitality Stadium and has quickly become one of the Premier League’s most appealing potential free transfers. With Senesi believed to have turned down several extension proposals, Bournemouth are preparing for his exit, while Spurs are lining up a possible move.

Respected journalist Ben Jacobs has confirmed that Tottenham are closely tracking Senesi’s situation, though they are not alone in the race. Juventus are monitoring the defender’s availability, and Chelsea could also make a move should their pursuit of Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet fail.

Speaking on the situation, Jacobs explained that Senesi is among several defenders admired by Tottenham and expects the club to be involved once he becomes a free agent this summer. However, competition from Juventus and potentially Chelsea means his future remains wide open.

Tottenham’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, along with the opportunity for Senesi to remain in England, could prove decisive factors in their favour.

The club’s interest comes amid uncertainty in Spurs’ defensive ranks. Despite significant recent investment, strengthening at centre-back remains a priority for Frank.

Radu Dragusin is reportedly eager to leave due to limited playing time behind Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, with AS Roma currently leading the chase for the Romanian defender. Meanwhile, Van de Ven’s impressive form has attracted attention from Liverpool, and his potential departure would leave a major gap on the left side of defence—one Senesi would be well suited to fill.

Securing a player of Senesi’s quality on a free transfer would represent outstanding value in a market where elite centre-backs come at a premium. With competition increasing and changes expected at the back, Tottenham are likely to push forward in their efforts to land what could be one of the standout signings of the summer.
