Anthony Gordon has completed a blockbuster move to Barcelona, signing a five-year deal with the Spanish giants. The 22-year-old winger joins the Catalan club from Newcastle, where he made 54 appearances and scored six goals.
The transfer is a significant coup for Barcelona, who have been looking to strengthen their attack ahead of the World Cup. Gordon's arrival will provide a much-needed boost to the team's attacking options.
The exact fee for the transfer has not been disclosed, but it is believed to be in excess of £40 million. Gordon has signed a lucrative contract with Barcelona, reportedly worth £120,000 per week.
Gordon's move to Barcelona comes as a surprise, given his relatively short time at Newcastle. However, the winger has been in high demand all summer, with several top clubs reportedly interested in his services.
Barcelona's director of football, Mateu Alemany, has confirmed the signing, saying: 'We are delighted to welcome Anthony Gordon to the club. He is a talented young player who will bring a lot of energy and creativity to our attack.'
