Tottenham enter race to sign Premier League defender for free, Man United and Juventus too

1 hour ago 30

Tottenham Hotspur have now entered the race for a Premier League centre-back who is set to be available for free in the summer.

Tottenham Hotspur could be in the market for a centre-back in the summer window, given the speculation surrounding their current defenders.

Radu Dragusin has been linked with a move to Italy, following several reports from the winter transfer window linking the Romanian with a move to AS Roma.

Cristian Romero could also be on his way out of Tottenham, as reports claim that he is looking to feature in the Champions League in the coming seasons.

Micky van de Ven, on the other hand, has yet to put pen to paper on a new contract with Spurs, and that has also brought about interest in van de Ven from a host of clubs in Europe.

Tottenham join Marcos Senesi transfer race

TuttoJuve is now reporting that Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as the latest club to show interest in Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi.

The Cherries centre-back’s contract is set to expire in the summer, and should he not sign a new deal at the Vitality Stadium, he will be available on a free transfer.

Senesi has been a constant in the backline of Andoni Iraola’s side, featuring 25 times in the Premier League, where he has managed four assists.

The defender, 28, would no doubt be a shrewd addition to the Spurs squad, given that he is a player familiar with Premier League football.

Spurs face competition as Juventus plan a meeting with Senesi

However, while Spurs have entered the race for Senesi, they will have to get in line, as there are several other clubs in the picture.

Manchester United are understood to have made a call in the winter window, while Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Everton are said to have shown interest this month.

Juventus, however, are the ones who have pushed themselves to the front of the queue.

The Italian side is said to be planning to meet with Senesi’s agents in the coming weeks, as they are ‘working to stay ahead’ of the competition.

Meanwhile, it is claimed that Juventus are particularly concerned about Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, as the German side is the last club to show a real interest in Senesi.
