Senesi was one of the top-performing defenders in the Premier League last season and is a big reason why Bournemouth will play in Europe next term.
Now, the defender has signed for Tottenham, with his announcement pending, and his stats show exactly why he is such a great deal.
Tottenham fans are so impressed by Marcos Senesi’s stats
Tottenham fans have been so impressed by the signing of Marcos Senesi after the club finalised the deal on Saturday.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal for the Argentine is all sealed, and the defender has now signed his contract in North London.
The former Bournemouth defender joins Andy Robertson in signing for Spurs as a free agent and adding to Spurs’ defensive options.
Senesi ranks first among other Premier League centre-backs in several passing stats, including forward passes, forward pass ratio, long passes completed, progressive passes completed, passes to final third, through passes completed, progressive actions, progressive action rate and assists.
Meanwhile, defensively, against other Premier League centre-backs, he also ranks first for defensive duels, interceptions and possessions won.

👀 What immediate changes need to be made…
It is a huge coup for Tottenham to sign him on a free transfer, and the fans have hailed the deal after seeing his incredible stats.
- “We’ve signed a very good player here!”
- “Honestly, credit where credit is due. How we’ve got him on a free is beyond me. Especially when Chelsea and Liverpool need a CB. Hopefully, we can get Van Hecke, too.”
- “Free. The pull is unheard of.”
- “He’s a 50 mil CB easily in today’s market for absolutely nothing, top work from the club on this one, don’t think anyone can complain about this one.”
- “The fact we’ve got him over Liverpool/Chelsea as we acted early is what we’ve wanted for years. Fair play to the people at the top. Hope they behave the same way the rest of the summer window and don’t leave us short up top.”
Tottenham’s impressive centre-back options
Roberto De Zerbi now has a very impressive collection of centre-backs to pick from next season, especially if Jean Paul van Hecke also signs for Tottenham.
Van Hecke is close to agreeing terms with Tottenham over a transfer, and he could be the replacement for Cristian Romero.
But with Micky van de Ven set to stay, Spurs will now have the Dutch international, Van Hecke, Senesi, Kevin Danso and Luka Vuskovic to select from.
Vuskovic could still leave Tottenham on loan to gain more experience, and with the Lilywhites now well stocked in defence.
