Tottenham Hotspur have wrapped up a shrewd summer double signing, officially confirming the arrivals of Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi as Roberto De Zerbi begins building his squad for the season ahead.
Robertson’s arrival was confirmed earlier this week, and Spurs have now followed it up by securing Argentine centre-back Marcos Senesi on a four-year deal running until June 2030. The 29-year-old completed his medical today, clearing the final hurdle before the announcement was made.
The Robertson deal may have grabbed the headlines, but Senesi’s signing had quietly been in the works since April, with Tottenham’s recruitment team identifying him as a defensive priority months ago. Sources close to the deal suggest there was never any real danger of it collapsing — Senesi had already given his personal commitment to the project well before rival clubs could mount any serious challenge.
Both arrivals come on free transfers, making it one of the most cost-effective pieces of business Spurs have conducted in recent memory — and arguably one of the shrewdest double signings of the entire summer window.
The motivation behind both deals is clear. Tottenham were defensively vulnerable for large parts of last season and only narrowly avoided a relegation battle. Club officials believe the experience, leadership, and Premier League know-how that Robertson and Senesi bring will provide the defensive foundation De Zerbi needs to push Spurs back toward the top half of the table.
Two experienced heads. Zero transfer fees. Tottenham’s summer is off to a very smart start.
