Report: Tottenham Hotspur line up Sven Bender move

Tottenham Hotspur are lining up a move to sign Borussia Dortmund midfielder Sven Bender, according to a report.

Spurs have been in the market for a midfielder this summer and were said to be interested in Everton's James McCarthy.

However, Mauricio Pochettino has now turned his attention to the 26-year-old to bolster his options in the middle of the park ahead of the new season, reports The Mirror.

Bender joined Dortmund in 2009 from 1860 Munchen.
