Romelu Lukaku will be asked if he wishes to try and revive his Chelsea career under incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino.
The Blues are close to confirming former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino as their permanent successor to Graham Potter, although Frank Lampard is set to remain in interim charge at Stamford Bridge until the end of the season. According to the Telegraph, attention is now turning to which Chelsea players could thrive under the Argentine, and it’s said that Lukaku will be offered the opportunity to reignite his stagnating career.
Lukaku was signed for a whopping £97.5 million ($120.9m) from Inter in 2021, but endured a nightmare return to the club he previously spent time at between 2011 and 2014. He managed just eight goals in 26 Premier League games, fell out with Thomas Tuchel and irritated supporters with an infamous interview in which he admitted that he regretted leaving Italy.
