Speaking to German sport's magazine kicker on Friday, Allofs saud that he was tracking the gifted young striker but stated that "we are aware that we are not alone [in our interest in Kruse]."

Kruse, who has scored 23 goals over two seasons with Mönchengladbach since signing from Freiburg, has a contract which expires in 2017. However, he has a release-clause for a set transfer fee of 12 million euros (13.46 million dollars).

Mönchengladbach's Sporting Director Max Eberl said at a press conference on Friday that he has yet to be contacted by any club regarding Kruse. Eberl also confirmed that a meeting with the player's agent is scheduled for this month.

After securing Borussia Mönchengladbach's Champions League place next season with a 1-0 win over Wolfsburg, Kruse scored against Hertha Berlin on Sunday, before confirming to SKY that he has had a medical with the Wolves.
