He has been a mainstay for Andoni Iraola this term, missing only one league fixture.His influence has only increased following last summer’s departures, Ilya Zabarnyi to Paris Saint-Germain, Dean Huijsen to Real Madrid, and Milos Kerkez to Liverpool, with Bournemouth currently sitting 11th in the table on 45 points.With Senesi available on a free transfer once his Bournemouth contract expires, any deal is likely to come down to salary, role and project – an area where the Anfield club may have an edge of Tottenham.
