One of the issues Chelsea faced this season was their underwhelming form in front of goal, having scored just 31 goals in 33 league games. While the club is expected to sign a striker during the transfer window, Pochettino could look in-house to solve their problems. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Pochettino is prepared to offer Lukaku a fresh start at Stamford Bridge when he returns from his loan spell with Inter Milan.
The report suggests that if Pochettino becomes Chelsea's new head coach, he will present his vision to Lukaku and give him time to decide whether he wants to be part of his plans. Lukaku struggled to find his best form during his second spell with Chelsea and gave an interview indicating that he was struggling to prosper in Tuchel's system.
The Belgium international subsequently returned to Inter on a season-long loan deal, where he has made 28 competitive appearances this season, scoring nine goals and providing five assists.
