Todd Boehly is expected to splash the cash again this summer and Mauricio Pochettino has already identified his ideal Chelsea striker

After locating the best Chelsea striker, Mauricio Pochettino appears to have already started executing his summer recruitment strategy. It appears as though the 51-year-old will be hired to fill the open head coaching position at Stamford Bridge.

According to football.london, the Blues and Pochettino have had numerous 'good talks' thus far, and Todd Boehly is hoping to name Graham Potter's long-term replacement at the end of the current campaign. Although the west Londoners and the former Tottenham manager have not yet reached an agreement, there is optimism that he will be in charge before the start of the following campaign.

So much so that the Argentine is said to have picked out his preferred candidate to lead the line at Chelsea. According to Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport, Romelu Lukaku will be offered the chance to redeem himself at Stamford Bridge upon his return from loan at Inter Milan.
The 29-year-old, who joined the Blues for £97.5million two-years ago, has featured 20 times for the Nerazzurri in the Serie A this season, directly contributing towards 10 goals. While Lukaku hasn't impressed back at the San Siro, Chelsea reportedly want to give him another opportunity under Pochettino.
In February, Rio Ferdinand and Owen Hargreaves urged the west Londoners to give the Belgium international another chance next season after scoring the winner for Inter in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Porto. The former Manchester United defender said: "I think new manager, give him a chance.

"I feel like he's not fit, he's carrying a bit more weight than normal and what he would like or the club like... still comes in and scores two goals in the last two games."

Singing from the same hymn sheet, Hargreaves added: "Nah, no chance [his Chelsea career is over], especially when they spent how much? And they don't have a centre-forward.

"So they've got a really good one, just get him fit. He's proven. His body of work shows he scores goals, so why would you not try and integrate him back in the summer?"

Pulisic went an unused substitute in the Blues win this past weekend, after having been left out of the team entirely the week before. As we wrote last week, if Pulisic never plays for Chelsea again that would be just fine. So where can he go? The American is being strongly linked to Italy’s Serie A. As you can see from the Tweet above, a former Chelsea forward who made the switch to AC Milan believes that his current side is the perfect place for Capt. America to go. “I think everyone would like it. He’s a big name in Europe, so that would help us,” said Giroud, who played with Pulisic at Chelsea. He is that kind of player with great skills, with great talent. He is a cheerful boy, always smiling. We laughed a lot with him. Our understanding on the pitch was also excellent, a bit like with Eden Hazard, ...

Mauricio Pochettino is the undisputed favorite at this point in the game.London is aware that the former Tottenham manager is getting closer to accepting the position but has not yet done so.
