'Special feeling to be a Spurs player' - Senesi joins Tottenham

[BBC] [Getty Images] Marcos Senesi says it is a "special feeling" to join Tottenham, after the club announced he will be signing on a free transfer on 1 July. The Argentina defender will move to north London after four years with Bournemouth following the expiry of his current deal with the Cherries. Speaking to the club media, Senesi said: "It's a very special feeling to be a Tottenham Hotspur player. "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." The 29-year-old made 128 appearances for Bournemouth, scoring six goals and providing 10 assists, and helped the south coast side secure European football for the first time in his final campaign with them. Spurs head coach Roberto de Zerbi, added: "Marcos' experience, quality on the ball, and competitive edge will strengthen us defensively, as well as giving us flexibility in formation. "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." What do you make of the new signing?
