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.
Finds bench role
Gordon (hip) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Brighton.
Analysis: Gordon passed his late fitness assessment after coach Eddie Howe confirmed a decision would be made closer to the game following his partial return to training Wednesday, recovering enough to earn a spot in the squad after missing two consecutive matches with the hip flexor injury. The winger had been in strong form before going down, scoring twice from eight shots across his last four appearances, and even a cameo off the bench would be a significant boost for a Newcastle side that has endured five straight defeats across all competitions.
