Anthony Gordon

Gordon has been named in England's World Cup squad after a season that saw him become one of the most prolific English scorers in the Champions League in the competition's history.

Analysis: Gordon wrapped up a season disrupted by injuries and suspension with six Premier League goals and two assists across 26 appearances for Newcastle, while also putting together a standout Champions League campaign that showcased his ability to deliver on the biggest stage in club football. The attacker combines elite speed, aggressive ball-carrying and a fearless one-on-one mentality that makes him a nightmare matchup down the left wing, and his Champions League performances only strengthened his status as one of England's most dangerous wide forwards after racking up 10 goals in 12 appearances in the competition for the Magpies. Gordon heads into the World Cup fueled by his recent move to Barcelona ahead of next season and determined to play a major role in what could become a historic summer for the Three Lions.

Completes Barcelona move

Gordon has signed with Barcelona for the next five years after leaving Premier League side Newcastle United, his new club announced Friday.

Analysis: Gordon will begin his La Liga career after his participation with England in the 2026 World Cup. The talented forward has played both on the left wing and as a striker in recent years, so he should give his new squad a versatile asset in the contention with Raphinha and Ferran Torres, perhaps fitting more in a central role with Robert Lewandowski no longer on the team. Last season, Gordon contributed 17 goals and five assists in 41 matches played (33 starts) across Premier League, FA Cup and UCL action.
