Marcos Senesi has already agreed to join Tottenham this summer, but his Bournemouth salary gives an interesting insight into where he could fit within Spurs’ wage structure.With club captain Cristian Romero expected to depart North London this summer, Tottenham have wasted little time in strengthening their squad. The Lilywhites already secured their first major addition less than a week after the season ended, agreeing a deal for Bournemouth defender Marcos Senesi on a free transfer.It is not often that Tottenham move for free agents. While clubs save on transfer fees, those deals usually come with higher wage demands and competition from several rival clubs looking to take advantage of the player’s availability.That approach never particularly suited the wage structure implemented during Daniel Levy’s time as chairman, with Tottenham traditionally reluctant to hand out some of the salaries offered by their direct rivals.However, there have already been signs of that changing. Conor Gallagher‘s arrival from Atletico Madrid in January saw Spurs hand out one of the club’s larger contracts, and it naturally raises the question of where Senesi might fit among Tottenham’s highest earners once the details of his agreement become public.Photo by Cameron Smith/Getty ImagesMarcos Senesi’s Bournemouth salary compared to Tottenham’s wage billMarcos Senesi enjoyed another impressive campaign at Bournemouth and unsurprisingly attracted interest from several top clubs, including Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool before ultimately choosing Tottenham.While Roberto De Zerbi‘s project will certainly have played a major role in that decision, financial incentives are also likely to have been a very important factor.According to Capology, Senesi earned £50,000 per week at Bournemouth, which works out to approximately £2.6 million per year and made him the Cherries’ tenth-highest earner.For comparison, that figure would place him only 24th in Tottenham’s current wage rankings, sitting between Mathys Tel on £55,000 per week and Djed Spence on £40,000 per week.Of course, it seems impossible that Senesi would arrive on the exact same salary. The terms of his Tottenham contract have not yet been disclosed, and given the level of interest in the Argentine and the fact Spurs faced competition from several elite clubs, it would be no surprise if his salary increases substantially once the move is officially confirmed.At The Spurs Web, we expect Senesi to be on around £100,000-£120,000 once he signs on the dotted line.Tottenham wage bill:PlayerPositionCountryAnnual SalaryWeekly SalaryCristian RomeroDefenderArgentina£10,140,00£195,000Xavi SimonsMidfielderNetherlands£10,140,00£195,000James MaddisonMidfielderEngland£8,840,000£170,000Conor GallagherMidfielderEngland£8,320,000£160,000Randal Kolo MuaniForwardFrance£7,800,000£150,000Mohammed KudusMidfielderGhana£7,800,000£150,000Dominic SolankeForwardEngland£7,280,000£140,000Joao PalhinhaMidfielderPortugal£7,020,000£135,000Dejan KulusevskiForwardSweden£5,720,000£110,000RicharlisonForwardBrazil£4,680,000£90,000Micky van de VenDefenderNetherlands£4,680,000£90,000Radu DragusinDefenderRomania£4,420,000£85,000Pedro PorroDefenderSpain£4,420,000£85,000Ben DaviesDefenderWales£4,160,000£80,000Rodrigo BentancurMidfielderUruguay£3,900,000£75,000Archie GrayMidfielderEngland£3,900,000£75,000Destiny UdogieDefenderItaly£3,900,000£75,000Guglielmo VicarioGoalkeeperItaly£3,900,000£75,000Pape Matar SarrMidfielderSenegal£3,640,000£70,000Kevin DansoDefenderAustria£3,380,000£65,000Lucas BergvallMidfielderSweden£3,120,000£60,000Mathys TelForwardFrance£2,860,000£55,000Yves BissoumaMidfielderMali£2,860,000£55,000Wilson OdobertMidfielderFrance£2,080,000£40,000Djed SpenceDefenderEngland£2,080,000£40,000Antonin KinskyGoalkee[erCzechia£1,560,000£30,000SouzaDefenderBrazil£1,300,000£25,000Brandon AustinGoalkeeperEngland£780,000£15,000Marcos Senesi’s numbers show exactly why Roberto De Zerbi wanted himIf Senesi can replicate his Bournemouth form in North London, Tottenham supporters have every reason to be excited.According to StatMuse, the Argentine finished the season with the most interceptions of any defender in the Premier League. He also ranked second for combined blocks and clearances, behind only Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk.Those numbers explain why De Zerbi pushed so hard to bring him to the club. On paper, Senesi and Micky Van de Ven could complement each other perfectly. Van de Ven provides the recovery pace that allows Tottenham to defend aggressively, while Senesi offers the ability to step in and break up attacks before they become dangerous.The signing also fits De Zerbi’s tactical philosophy, with the Italian wanting his teams to build from the back. And having a defender who can read danger early, win the ball back consistently and remain comfortable in possession is invaluable to that approach, which is exactly why Senesi looks set to become a key figure in Tottenham’s new era.READ MORE: How Marcus Rashford feels about taking wage cut to join Tottenham or Aston VillaThe post How Marcos Senesi’s salary will fit in with Tottenham’s strict wage structure appeared first on Spurs Web.
