Spurs skipper Dawson: Bale transfer saga not unsettling squad

Tottenham skipper Michael Dawson insists the Gareth Bale transfer saga isn't a problem for the players.

Dawson claims the rest of the squad are unfazed by the issue.

"To be fair Gareth missed quite a lot of it [pre-season] through injury so when you are injured you feel a little bit left out like I did a few years ago, but as players you concentrate on what you are doing on a daily basis and that's all you can do," Dawson told Sky Sports News.

"Gareth is a top player, the season he had last year he is going to attract speculation.

"The manager has said he's staying, the chairman has also, so for us as players we can't concentrate on that we just keep our heads down and as team work hard."
