Spurs target Bender won't force BVB exit

Borussia Dortmund midfielder Sven Bender insists he won't push for a move away.

Tottenham are chasing the Germany international midfielder, with an attempt planned this week to prise him away from BVB.

But Bender insists: "Nothing matters to me - only Dortmund."

However, Bender's future is in question at BVB after Ilkay Gundogan agreed to stay for the coming season. The midfielder, 26, isn't expected to be a first-choice for new coach Thomas Tuchel.

Along with Spurs, Bender has also been linked with Community Shield winners Arsenal in recent weeks.
