Yes, the striker could not do much of note for Chelsea last season.

And he has had injury problems during his loan spell at Inter.

But, as we all know, Lukaku is a brilliant striker who is one of the best in the world.

The £350,000-a-week (SalarySport) 30-year-old is at the top of his game at the moment, and under Pochettino at Chelsea, the former Manchester United striker could flourish.

Lukaku has made 16 starts and six substitute appearances in Serie A for Inter this season.

The striker has scored eight goals and given five assists in those games.
