Barcelona has officially signed England winger Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United, securing him on a five-year contract, the club announced on Friday. Although financial specifics remain undisclosed, British media suggests an initial offer of 80 million euros was extended, with potential add-ons.

Gordon, who was Newcastle's top scorer last season, netted 17 goals across competitions, including 10 goals in 12 Champions League matches. Despite his performance, Newcastle finished 12th in the Premier League, falling short of qualifying for European play.

Gordon joins the ranks of notable English players excelling abroad, including Bayern Munich's Harry Kane and Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham. Meanwhile, his compatriot Marcus Rashford, on loan from Manchester United, played a crucial part in helping Barcelona to retain their LaLiga title.
