Mauricio Pochettino still wants Chelsea to sign a new striker this summer even if they keep Romelu Lukaku, according to reports.
Chelsea fans are very intrigued to see what happens this summer with Romelu Lukaku, who’s due back in West London after a season-long loan spell at Inter Milan.
The Blues-owned forward is reminding everyone of his talent recently with his Inter performances, but he’s a £97.5million signing that was allowed to exit on loan after a turbulent time at Stamford Bridge.
It’s going to be very interesting to see what newly-appointed Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino thinks of the Belgian centre-forward.
The Daily Mail claims that Pochetino is keen to speak with Lukaku after his loan to see if he can picture a road back for him in Chelsea colours.
It is understood that Chelsea’s new boss does want a new signing in the No 9 position even if Lukaku stays.
In our view, this is not the sort of speculation that would convince the striker to give it another shot at Chelsea next season.
90min claimed last month that Lukaku is keen to stay at the San Siro and rejoin Inter once this loan deal runs out in the summer.
Meanwhile, Lukaku told Hat Laatse Nieuws last week that he feels like he belongs at Inter.
