Player profile

Anthony Gordon

Forward · Barcelona

United KingdomActive

Anthony Gordon completed a £69.3m move from Newcastle United to Barcelona in 2026, arriving on the back of a season in which he was Newcastle's top scorer with 17 goals across all competitions.

Career

Gordon came through Everton's academy, making his first-team debut in 2019 before an January 2023 move to Newcastle United turned him into a Premier League regular.

At Newcastle he developed from an inconsistent wide forward into the club's top scorer, contributing 6 goals and 2 assists in the Premier League during the 2025-26 season alone.

In 2026 he sealed a big-money transfer to Barcelona, becoming one of the summer's marquee English departures from the Premier League.

How they play

A direct, high-tempo left winger who likes to cut inside onto his right foot, Gordon combines pace in behind with a willingness to track back, which made him a key outlet for Eddie Howe's Newcastle counter-attacks.

Where they are now

Gordon is set to make his Barcelona debut in a club friendly against Basel on 16 August 2026, beginning life at Camp Nou after his summer transfer.
