Alvaro Morata signs, Rafael Leao deal - Thomas Tuchel’s worst-case scenario for Chelsea attack

Chelsea's attack seems to have become the main focus for Todd Boehly and Co with less than two weeks remaining until the end of the transfer window.

The Blues have started the 2022/23 Premier League season in a mixed way, having won one, drawn one and lost the other which was the most recent 3-0 defeat away at Elland Road against Jesse Marsch's Leeds United. Not only did that loss reiterate the need for Wesley Fofana, but Kai Havertz' latest outing has really shown Chelsea supporters what their attack will be like for the rest of the new campaign if no further investment were to be made in that area.

Since the loss, there have been some major developments in regards to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Anthony Gordon and Rafael Leao. On Aubameyang, a base fee of £18m plus add-ons has seemingly been agreed, if the Spanish press is to be believed and there are just a few things needed to be done before he travels back to England for his latest adventure. Gordon, meanwhile, has told Everton manager Frank Lampard about his desires to move on to pastures new and despite this verbal transfer request, the Athletic have reported that there are no guarantees that this deal gets done before the deadline.
