Mauricio Pochettino has sent a message to Chelsea outcast Romelu Lukaku with the west Londoners struggling to sell the Belgian international striker.

Lukaku is currently training with Chelsea U21s and has not held a single conversation with head coach Pochettino.
Chelsea have been desperately trying to sell Lukaku this summer but have been unable to strike a deal thus far.
Lukaku snubbed a move to Saudi Arabia earlier in the transfer window while Inter Milan were unable to meet Chelsea’s asking price.
He was most recently linked to Juventus but the Italian side will only consider signing Lukaku if they can send Dusan Vlahovic in the other direction and Pochettino is not keen on the swap.
Chelsea are now reportedly considering dropping Lukaku’s £35m price tag as they attempt to get him off the books at Stamford Bridge.
Pochettino was quizzed about Lukaku in Thursday’s press conference and said: ‘Don’t be sorry, you need to ask. No [I have still not spoken to him] as the situation has not changed.
‘If the player and the club wish to find a solution, it’s not me, it’s them that need to talk. They can then inform me if there is a change.
‘I’m not going to move until the club or the player want to talk with me. I accepted the situation when I arrived. I wasn’t able to change anything.
‘It was before we arrived. In the future, it can change. Things can always change in football. Life can change. At the moment, today, nothing has changed. If something changes, we will adapt to the new situation.’
