The latest update regarding the future of Marcos Senesi may come as a big blow to Tottenham as the Lilywhites attempt to steer clear of relegation.
The Argentine has been an extremely consistent performer in the heart of the Cherries’ defence over the last couple of years, and, unsurprisingly, he is a wanted man ahead of the summer as he edges closer to becoming a free agent.
Spurs Web has relayed a number of reports over the last week suggesting that Tottenham are in close contact with Senesi’s representatives regarding a switch to N17 this summer.
The Lilywhites have been trying to steal a march on the competition for the Bournemouth star, but they have been hit with what could potentially be some bad news.
Tottenham target Marcos Senesi wants to finalise move in next six weeks
Over the past couple of days, some sources have said that Senesi wants his future resolved before this summer’s World Cup.
It is now being claimed by talkSPORT that the experienced centre-back wants to finalise his destination even sooner, and that he is keen to agree terms with a new club before the end of the season.
That means that all clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, may have to act very swiftly over the coming weeks to strike a deal with Senesi.

Apart from the Lilywhites, the report names Manchester United as the other Premier League club with a keen interest in the Argentine.
Why Senesi’s early transfer desire may come as a blow for Spurs
If it is true that the Bournemouth star wants to finalise a move before the end of the season, that may not be good news for Tottenham.
The club are not assured of their place in the Premier League next season, and the race for survival may well go into the final week or two of the season.
A club like Man United who appear to be moving in the right direction under Michael Carrick, may be a much more tempting destination for the 28-year-old.
