Chelsea transfer target Romelu Lukaku has taken some time out to relax with Paul Pogba in Miami ahead of the new Premier League season.

Both players were in action during the latter stages of Euro 2016 and have been afforded additional time off by Everton and Juventus respectively.

Lukaku's future has been a constant source of speculation during the close season and Standard Sport understands he is still on the Blues' radar after the club's second bid for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata fell short.

Antonio Conte's side are expected to return with a third proposal for Madrid to consider but are now looking to make a £50m bid for Lukaku, whom they sold to the Toffees in 2014.

The 23-year-old scored 18 Premier League goals last season and has proved that he's also comfortable on the basketball court as well as a football pitch.

Lukaku posted a video on his official Instagram page enjoying a spot of one-on-one with friend and Manchester United target Pogba.

The France midfielder is reportedly on the verge of a move to Old Trafford, but his agent Mino Raiola has dismissed such a suggestion as simply "bla, bla, bla".

And Pogba appears to be at ease about the situation, telling his followers on the social media platform: "I'm on annual leave, chilling a bit, let's enjoy some summer before it ends."
