Marcos Senesi could be set for a new club as active negotiations between Tottenham and Bournemouth are ongoing over a potential transfer. The defender is seen as the perfect addition to the squad as they look to strengthen a key area of the pitch, with unconfirmed reports suggesting that talks are underway. While discussions are reportedly still in their early stages, there is increased optimism that a deal could be reached in the coming days. While Liverpool, Newcastle and Crystal Palace have shown interest, Tottenham currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. So far in this season, Tottenham are conceding 1.61 goals a game (50 in 31), more than they'd like compared to the Premier League standard. The hope is Marcos Senesi adds a bit of steel and helps make them tougher to break down. Alongside this, Bournemouth are said to be exploring Jhon Lucumi with Tottenham likewise connected to Ian Martin Subiabre, Harry Wilson and Mandela Keita. More on this story as it develops.
