There was no “De Zerbi effect” against Sunderland last weekend. A 1-0 defeat and three more points lost mean that Tottenham are no longer balancing on the relegation zone, but are hanging below it. Now the club has six games to save their place in the top division. A challenging situation going into the summer transfer window, to say the least, where advances towards potential reinforcements must be made subject to survival in the Premier League. Now, however, there are reports of a very interesting reinforcement on the way in.

Marcos Senesi has been the talk of the town over the past month. No wonder, when the Argentine is linked to everything from Barcelona, Manchester United and Liverpool. According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, it is still Tottenham who are most on the offensive.
