Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino discussed the potential fate of Romelu Lukaku.

As the Belgian striker’s loan at Roma is coming to an end, the Chelsea boss was asked what the English club’s plans are for him.

“He’s a Chelsea player, so we’ll definitely pay attention. He is an option for us for next year,” said the Argentine coach regarding the Belgian’s possible return to London next summer.

It remains to be understood what Roma and above all the player wants to do.

However, Chelsea also don’t seem to have clear ideas about Big Rom’s future: “We still haven’t made any decisions on Lukaku,” concluded Pochettino.
