Thomas Tuchel&#8217;s side is without Romelu Lukaku and Timo Werner after their returns to previous clubs Inter Milan and RB Leipzig, respectively. As an owner, Todd Boehly likely sees this as a risk. Meanwhile, results are not ideal on the pitch. Chelsea have four points from their first three matches after their dearth of attacking talent produced nothing of note in an away hammering at <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/22\/leeds-united-player-rating-chelsea\/\" target=\"_self\">Leeds United<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Stamford Bridge side are considering several attacking talents. This includes Anthony Gordon, with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1562176508919152642\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/a> providing another option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/24\/fabrizio-romano-harry-maguire-to-chelsea-manchester-united\/\" target=\"_self\">Fabrizio Romano Finally Speaks Out on Harry Maguire to Chelsea Saga; It&#8217;s Good News for Manchester United &#8211; Opinion<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Why the Move Could Benefit Anthony Gordon<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">For Anthony Gordon, the move makes a lot of sense. Everton are hovering above the relegation zone, have very little attacking talent to support the forward and could see a real struggle this season. On the contrary, Chelsea are a Champions League club with a large budget and a lot of potential to put the youngster on a global stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On the subject of the global stage, Anthony Gordon is pushing for a place on the plane to Qatar in November. The wings are highly competitive for England with Leeds&#8217; Jack Harrison on an incredible run of form, looking to secure a place in the World Cup squad. However, a place in the Chelsea lineup could sway Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate&#8217;s thinking.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Frank Lampard on Anthony Gordon deal: \u201cGordon\u2019s our player, everyone knows of Chelsea\u2019s interest\u2026\u201d. \ud83d\udea8\ud83d\udd35 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#EFC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a good relationship, ideally [a quick resolution to the situation] or we carry on and he\u2019s our player\u201d, Lampard says via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ALANMYERSMEDIA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@alanmyersmedia<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/CFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#CFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aB53SZmFMx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/aB53SZmFMx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1562189103537332225?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">August 23, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Fee Could Be Tempting for the Toffees<\/h3>\n<p>The situation at Goodison Park is difficult.
