Tottenham are poised to make two new signings after securing their Premier League status.

GIVEMESPORT understands an agreement in principle is in place to sign Andy Robertson following his departure from Liverpool. The 32-year-old agreed terms in January, but Liverpool couldn't source a replacement and the Scotland international did not want to leave Anfield unless it also suited the club.

Robertson played his final game for Liverpool on Sunday in a 1-1 draw with Brentford that secured Champions League football for next season.

When Robertson transfer could be confirmed

Spurs are now expected to sign him on a free transfer and the deal could be formalised before Robertson heads off to the World Cup with Scotland.

The signing was always contingent on Spurs staying in the Premier League, with Roberto De Zerbi's side surviving courtesy of a 1-0 win over Everton on the final day.

Robertson is of appeal not only due to his Premier League experience and leadership, but his character as well. He made 378 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 14 times and was one of the most popular players in the dressing room.

Spurs are also favourites to sign Marcos Senesi on a free transfer. The 29-year-old left Bournemouth on a free transfer despite the Cherries qualifying for the Europa League via a sixth-placed finish.

Senesi had informed Bournemouth he wanted a fresh challenge last year and turned down multiple contract offers as a result.

Terms are in place with Spurs with Senesi making it clear to all European suitors his preference is to remain in the Premier League.

Two other clubs have been chasing Senesi

Manchester United have also considered Senesi, while Liverpool have been weighing up whether to enter the race. As it stands, Spurs are hoping to formalise Senesi quickly in order to avoid any surprises.

Senesi has had another outstanding season for Bournemouth making 37 appearances in all competitions and playing a pivotal role in Bournemouth gaining European football for the first time in their history.

Spurs staying up also boosts their chances of Micky van de Ven signing a new deal. Sources have told GMS he's been impressed by Roberto De Zerbi.

However, there remains a realistic chance captain Cristian Romero is sold. Spurs are open to an exit on the right times, with the Argentine defender keen on a move to La Liga.
