Die Fohlen have expressed a strong interest in acquiring the services of the Netherlands international striker, who has been linked with a host of clubs across Europe
Borussia Monchengladbach have joined the race to sign young Twente striker Luuk de Jong, according to Youri Mulder, an assistant coach at the Eredivisie outfit.The forward, 21, has enjoyed a sparkling season, netting 23 goals in 30 league appearances for Steve McClaren's side.
But with Twente dropping out of contention for Champions League qualification, De Jong has been tipped to make a move abroad in the summer, with the likes of Liverpool and Newcastle United touted as possible destinations.
But it has now emerged that Gladbach are also in the running for the prolific forward, with Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reporting that the Bundesliga side have offered €8 million (£6.5m) for his services.

Die Fohlen sporting director Max Eberl also intimated that his club was interested in signing De Jong.
"We are interested in good transfers in order to help the team withstand the stresses of the season," he said.
Twente are reportedly unlikely to accept anything less than €12m (£9.8m) for the attacker, who has been capped seven times by the Dutch national team.
