Mauricio Pochettino will decide today if he wants to bring forgotten 30-year-old back in for Chelsea

Reports have claimed that Chelsea are set to offer Romelu Lukaku an unprecedented return to play for them again next season.

According to the Mail Online, Mauricio Pochettino will discuss today whether he wants to bring the 30-year-old back into the fray at Stamford Bridge.

A mixed season for Lukaku ended in heartache last weekend as his Inter Milan side were defeated 1-0 in the Champions League final by Manchester City.

It was a painful night for the Belgian in particular, who missed a fantastic chance late in the day to potentially take the intriguing final to extra-time.

It’s not the first time this season either that fingers have been pointed at him when huge chances have come in equally large games.

Pochettino to decide on Lukaku today

Up against transfer target at the time Josko Gvardiol at the World Cup, Lukaku missed a hatful of big chances which eventually helped see his nation dumped out in the group stages at the hands of Croatia and Morocco.

These big moments came alongside what turned out to be an overall promising loan spell at Inter Milan, where he really found his form in the second half of the season after getting over injuries.

He is now set to return to Stamford Bridge, however it has been widely claimed that his personal desire is to remain in Italy for next season.

Nevertheless, it has now been claimed that a conversation is set to occur today between Pochettino and the club regarding whether they would like to work with the 30-year-old, if he can be convinced.

If not, the Blues will certainly need to invest in a new striker going into next season, with their alarming ability in front of goal not going unnoticed last season.
