It is a very special feeling to be a Tottenham Hotspur player. From the first moment, the club showed me why they want me and how much they want me to be part of what they are building. It is something exciting and I am looking forward to getting involved.

Senesi's presentation video featured a special welcome from 1978 World Cup winner and Tottenham legend Osvaldo Ardiles.

Every time I step on the field, I will do everything possible to make the fans proud and to return the club to where it belongs. I want to win titles with Tottenham and I will do everything I can to achieve it.

Senesi expressed his enthusiasm for the move, stating, "It is a very special feeling to be a Tottenham Hotspur player.

I was new. I arrived at Tottenham in 1978. It was difficult, but the more time passed, the more I found common ground. We fought a lot, but we played with passion and style. London became home. Tottenham, a family.
