Senesi will officially join Roberto De Zerbi's side on 1 July at the expiry of his current contract, reportedly putting pen to paper on a four-year deal with the club. 

The 29 year-old will arrive at Spurs after four successful years at Bournemouth, with the defender pivotal in securing Europa League qualification in 2025-2026.

He made 39 appearances across all competitions, the joint-most among Bournemouth's outfield players, while also completing more passes than any other player in Andoni Iraola's side. 

Senesi had been linked with a move to Iraola's new club Liverpool, but he has instead chosen to join a Spurs side that retained its Premier League status on the final day of the season.

Spurs finished 17th after a turbulent campaign, and Senesi outlined his ambition to get the club back to where it belongs upon his arrival. 

"It's a very special feeling to be a Tottenham Hotspur player," he said. "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."

Senesi will be aiming to improve Spurs' defence, with only Burnley, Wolves and West Ham conceding more Premier League goals last season than Tottenham. 

The Argentine ranked inside the top three for blocks, interceptions and clearances among players in the top flight in 2025-2026. 

De Zerbi has already improved his back line with the signing of Andy Robertson from Liverpool, while Ben Davies signed a new contract with the club earlier in the day. 

"Marcos' experience, quality on the ball, and competitive edge will strengthen us defensively, as well as giving us flexibility in formation," De Zerbi said. 

"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."

Spurs are also chasing Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke, and have reportedly had two bids for the Netherlands international rejected.
