Mauricio Pochettino has already given Chelsea stance on Romelu Lukaku as transfer decision awaits

Mauricio Pochettino has already given a strong verdict on Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku as a previously unlikely link-up between the pair is on the cards. With the Argentine head coach close to being appointed as the new boss at Stamford Bridge and Lukaku's future far from certain, there is a discussion to be had over what happens next.

The Belgian forward is on-loan at Inter Milan having rejoined the Italian side 12 months after being sold for £97.5million but has struggled for fitness until the latter stage of the season. He has started to score goals in recent weeks but his open play contributions have remained minimal.

With his relationships in west London being seemingly torched by the infamous Sky Italia interview in the winter of 2021 it would be a monumental U-turn to see him back in Chelsea blue. The chances of that happening have been increased in recent weeks though with the true nature of Inter's financial struggles becoming clear.
