He has been quite impressive in the Premier League, and he has the quality to play for the biggest clubs in the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Chelsea and Manchester United need to improve defensively, and the 28-year-old would be the ideal acquisition. He will help them improve defensively, and it would be a bargain acquisition as well. Signing him would allow the two clubs to improve the other areas of the squad as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Senesi will look to establish himself as an important player for the Argentina national team as well. Competing at the highest level with the top Premier League club could improve his chances of representing his country more often.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CAUGHTOFFSIDE APP FOR ALL THE LATEST &#038; BREAKING UPDATES \u2013 STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!
