Lorenz-Gunther Kostner welcomed Wolfsburg's draw against Fulham in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

The Wolves travel to Craven Cottage on April 1 before hosting the Barclays Premier League club at the VW-Arena a week later with a potential all-German semi-final against Hamburg on the cards.

But for that to become reality, Kostner knows his side, who pushed Manchester United close on two occasions in the Champions League earlier this season, will have to be on their toes.

"This is a good draw," he said. "We will do all we can to reach the next round.

"English football could suit us. But of course we are warned - Fulham have beaten Basle and Juventus already.

"Therefore, we are going to have to put in a top performance."

The club's managing director Dieter Hoeness, who was present at the draw in Nyon today, cannot wait for the trip to England on April Fools' Day.

"It is always fantastic to play in English stadia," he said on his club's website.

"I am really looking forward to our visit to Craven Cottage.

"Maybe it could be a small advantage for us to play the return leg in the VW-Arena. That has proven to be lucky for us against Villarreal and Rubin Kazan."

But he too has warned about the threat of the Cottagers.

"They have not only beaten teams like Juventus and Shakhtar Donetsk, but they have beaten Manchester United 3-0 already too," he added.

"Fulham have some really strong players like Bobby Zamora and Damien Duff."
