David Moyes has already been dealt a major setback after losing Jarrad Branthwaite to yet another injury, further stretching Everton’s defensive resources.
In response, the club moved quickly to extend Michael Keane’s contract, but strengthening at the back still looks like a priority in the months ahead.
One player firmly on their radar was Marcos Senesi. However, that option now appears to be slipping away, with the defender leaning towards a move to Tottenham Hotspur—provided they avoid relegation.
Recent reports revealed Spurs were closing in on a deal for Senesi, and that agreement has now been reached. According to Sky Sports Germany, the transfer is dependent on Tottenham maintaining their Premier League status.
The 28-year-old, who is set to become a free agent, has already given his word to the North London club, but nothing is guaranteed just yet. With only five matches remaining, Tottenham’s survival hopes could directly determine whether the deal goes through.
Interestingly, Everton and Spurs are set to meet on the final day of the season—a clash that could have huge consequences for both clubs. For Everton, it’s a chance to impact the relegation battle; for Tottenham, it could define their future both on and off the pitch.
Should Spurs drop out of the top flight, the door could swing wide open again for Senesi, especially with reported interest from Liverpool FC.
While the pull of London may have influenced his decision, Senesi’s next destination is still far from certain.
