Mauricio Pochettino appears to have already launched his summer transfer window plan after identifying his ideal Chelsea striker. The 51-year-old has been heavily linked with filling the head coach vacancy at Stamford Bridge, and it looks as if he'll land the job.
football.london understands that the Blues have held multiple rounds of 'positive talks' with Pochettino thus far, with Todd Boehly hopeful of appointing a permanent successor to Graham Potter at the end of the season. While the west Londoners are yet to reach an agreement with the former Tottenham boss, there is confidence that he'll be in the dugout ahead of next season.
So much so that the Argentine is said to have picked out his preferred candidate to lead the line at Chelsea. According to Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport, Romelu Lukaku will be offered the chance to redeem himself at Stamford Bridge upon his return from loan at Inter Milan.
