Jonas Hofmann has dropped a hint over a potential reunion with Thomas Tuchel after interest from Chelsea was directly put to him.
It was previously reported that Tuchel wanted to bring the £14million-rated Borussia Monchengladbach star to Stamford Bridge, having worked with the midfielder at Dortmund.
Bild had initially reported that there has been contact between Tuchel and Hofmann, with the 28-year-old potentially keen on a fresh challenge after five years at Gladbach.
And Hofmann has since been directly quizzed on the Blues' pursuit, with the German not giving too much away but claiming he does have interest from clubs.
