Reports have emerged claiming that Borussia Dortmund have warned Arsenal off Sven Bender.
The German international midfielder is interesting Gunners boss Arsene Wenger this summer as he seeks to add a ball-winner to his squad.
But BVB chief Michael Zorc insists Bender is not for sale.
Discussing the midfielder and Sokratis Papastathopoulos, Zorc declared: “All the speculation about Sokratis and Bender is completely irrelevant.
“We plan to use them both (next season).”
