SportFootballTottenham transfer newsTottenham already have an agreement in principle to sign Andy Robertson and are now close to signing another experienced Premier League defender on a Bosman transferTottenham are understood to be in pole position to sign Marcos Senesi when the Bournemouth defender's contract expires, with talks now at an advanced stage.Senesi is poised to become the latest player to move on from Bournemouth after a stellar spell on the south coast, with the 29-year-old boasting plenty of Premier League suitors. And it seems as though the Cherries, who confirmed Senesi would be leaving the club earlier this month, will face off against the Argentina international next season, with the player remaining in England.BBC Sport report that a deal between the centre-half and Tottenham is 'advancing towards completion', although personal terms have not yet been fully agreed.Senesi is said to have rejected three contract offers from Bournemouth, who ceased their attempts to retain the former Feyenoord defender when he opened talks with foreign clubs.But Spurs now seem Senesi's most likely destination as the club proceed with efforts to improve their playing squad after retaining their Premier League status on the final day of the season.A deal for Senesi follows reports that Andy Robertson is poised to swap Liverpool for Tottenham as he also prepares to move on a Bosman transfer this summer.The 32-year-old made his final Liverpool appearance on the final day of the season and already has an agreement in principle in place to join Spurs, who tried to sign him during the winter transfer window.Robertson ended up staying put even though Tottenham and Liverpool struck a deal for the veteran left-back's transfer, but the north Londoners do look set to land their target at the second attempt despite reported interest from Juventus.After narrowly avoided relegation last week, Vinai Venkatesham, Tottenham's chief executive, indicated that the club would be seeking experienced individuals as they bid to return to the upper echelons of the Premier League under Roberto De Zerbi, whose arrival in April proved to be the catalyst for safety."The squad needs work and the squad hasn't got the right balance," Venkatesham told BBC Sounds."We need experience and leadership and also that kind of physical robustness to play in the most demanding league that exists."We need to strengthen the club over multiple transfer windows but this transfer window, in particular, is going to be critical."Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
