The answer lies in the mounting uncertainty surrounding Ibrahima Konat\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>While the French powerhouse has been an undeniable force on his day, his long-term future at the club is now suddenly up in the air.<\/p>\n<p>Sporting director Richard Hughes knows he simply cannot afford to be caught completely off guard if Konat\u00e9 departs.<\/p>\n<p>Entering the absolute prime of his career, Senesi offers a brilliant, ready-made solution.<\/p>\n<p>As a naturally left-footed center-back, a highly prized and rare commodity in modern tactical setups, he would bring instant balance to Arne Slot\u2019s possession-heavy, build-from-the-back system.<\/p>\n<p>He has spent the last few years quietly proving himself on the South Coast as an aggressive, ball-playing defender who is perfectly tailored to the grueling, relentless pace of the Premier League.<\/p>\n<section class=\"more-stories std-mgn-b\">&#13;<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<header class=\"col-s-12 std-mgn-t\">More
