Romelu Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez have proven exactly why Mauricio Pochettino is looking to arm Chelsea with the Inter Milan duo next season. The 51-year-old has been heavily linked with the head coach vacancy at Stamford Bridge for last month or so, and a decision has finally been made.
football.london understands that the Blues agreed a deal to make Pochettino the club's new manager. After weeks of positive conversations and talks between the two parties, the former Tottenham boss is set to takeover from Frank Lampard at the end of the season.
It's believed that Pochettino is yet to put pen to paper, but he's expected to do so in the coming days. Unlike Graham Potter, the Argentine will have a full pre-season to get his feet under the table and begin planning for next season.
