Alan Shearer suggests Chelsea need to find a new striker before the September 1 deadline amid Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang transfer links as old problems show their face again at Goodison Park in the Premier League.
The Blues kicked off the new 2022/23 campaign on the right foot after a late Jorginho penalty in first half injury time was enough to see Thomas Tuchel's side over the line and end the five year wait in the process of winning away at the Toffees. It was a performance that showcased the good and bad of Chelsea. The good being the solid defensive foundations that have been ever-present during Tuchel's managerial reign. Kalidou Koulibaly's introduction into that fold coupled with a potential Wesley Fofana introduction means that the west Londoners are set in that regard.
Marc Cucurella made his debut late on in this Saturday Night Football fixture after his £63million move from Brighton was just confirmed in time for game week 1. Despite Raheem Sterling looking the brightest player in attack, the same problems showed itself again in relation to a lack of creativity up top. Both Kai Havertz and Mason Mount really struggled to impact proceedings and this was shown especially with the German's player rating from the affair.
