Chelsea target Hofmann confirms 'other clubs' interested: But I'm focused on Gladbach

Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Jonas Hofmann has confirmed other clubs are interested in his services.

Reports in Germany claimed last week that Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel had made contact with the 28-year-old, having worked with him at Borussia Dortmund.

While Hofmann did not give too much away about the rumours, the German did admit other clubs had enquired about acquiring his signature.

"Basically, I feel good at Borussia, I've always emphasised that," the Germany international told Ruhr Nachrichten, as quoted by Sport Witness.

"It may be that one or the other club has expressed its interest.

"Nevertheless, for me, the absolute focus is on having a successful season with Borussia and dedicating myself fully to success. I put my personal situation under it."

Asked directly about contact from Premier League giants Chelsea, Hofmann replied: "I think it's clear that other clubs will notice you if you perform well. Therefore, it is possible that one or the other has already asked."
