Marcos Senesi has joined Tottenham after leaving Bournemouth at the end of his contract
Tottenham have officially confirmed the signing of Marcos Senesi. He follows Andy Robertson into the club on a free transfer after his Bournemouth contract expired.
He will wear the No.5 shirt - left vacant since Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's departure - that he wore with the Cherries. Speaking on the move, as quoted by Spurs, he said: "It's a very special feeling to be a Tottenham Hotspur player.
"From the first moment, the club has shown why they want me and how much they want me to be a part of what they are building. It's exciting and something I can't wait to be involved in.
"Every time I step on the pitch, I will do my best to make the fans proud and to take the club back to the place it belongs. I want to win things with Tottenham and will do everything I can to make that happen."
Head coach Roberto De Zerbi said: "Marcos' experience, quality on the ball, and competitive edge will strengthen us defensively, as well as giving us flexibility in formation.
"He's comfortable playing in a possession-based team, reads the game very well and has the personality to thrive in a demanding environment.
"I also love his mentality and desire to keep improving and I'm looking forward to working with him and seeing the big contribution he can make to the team."
Sporting director Johan Lange added: "Marcos is a defender who brings a combination of quality, intelligence and leadership to our squad.
"His experience at the highest level, his composure in possession and his desire to compete for every ball make him an excellent fit for the way we want to play.
"We are delighted to welcome him to the club and believe this is the perfect place for him as he enters a great stage in his career."
