Tottenham are reportedly leading the race for a Bournemouth standout who is also attracting serious interest from Crystal Palace, Everton, and several top European clubs.
Tottenham are preparing to go head-to-head with several English sides and Spanish heavyweights Barcelona in the race to sign a Premier League star who will be out of contract this summer.
No room for excuses, says Tudor
Tottenham’s interim head coach Igor Tudor has made it clear there is “no time to find excuses” as he looks to arrest the club’s slide in the Premier League.
The 47-year-old, formerly in charge of Juventus, was appointed last week following the dismissal of Thomas Frank and will remain in charge until the end of the season. His immediate focus, he says, is restoring belief within the squad.
Speaking to Spursplay, Tudor stressed that the team must be given exactly what it needs during this difficult period. He highlighted confidence and courage as key priorities, alongside improving concrete aspects of their performances on the pitch. Acknowledging the challenges ahead, he admitted the situation is not easy but insisted that everyone at the club must give something extra to turn things around.
Former Spurs boss Tim Sherwood added further intrigue ahead of the North London derby, joking that Tudor could “build a statue” if he derails Arsenal’s season with a victory, though he warned that accepting a short-term deal carries significant risk.
Despite Tudor’s recent arrival, Tottenham are already planning for the future. Reports suggest the club have identified a potential long-term successor and are actively shaping their summer transfer strategy.
Spurs leading race for Marcos Senesi
According to reports in Spain, relayed via Sport Witness, Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi is attracting widespread interest as he approaches the end of his contract.
The Argentine international has previously been linked with a move to North London, and Tottenham are described as the most attentive to his current situation. However, they face stiff competition from Barcelona, where head coach Hansi Flick is reportedly an admirer of the defender’s aggressive style.
Alongside Tottenham and Barcelona, several Premier League clubs — including Chelsea, Everton, Crystal Palace and Brighton — are monitoring developments. European sides such as Juventus and Borussia Dortmund are also said to be in the mix, setting up a potentially fierce battle for his signature this summer.
