Anthony Gordon is officially a Barcelona player after his signing was announced on Friday, and the former Newcastle winger already spoke for the first time since joining the club.
Speaking to the press at the club’s facilities, Gordon shared his excitement about joining the Blaugrana
and revealed it’s a childhood dream of his to play for Barça at Camp Nou.“Playing for Barça is the greatest thing, it comes with a lot of responsibility, but I’m ready. The players who have worn the shirt before carry
a lot of weight. You don’t sign for a club like this every day, I’m very excited.
“I found out quite late. I knew there were talks. As soon as I knew Barça was a serious option, I had no doubts. It’s the best club in the world. It’s a childhood dream and now it’s come true.
“Playing with Lamine and the rest is exciting. They are top players, the best in the world. I saw it when we played against them. Playing at St. James’ Park is difficult because of the intense atmosphere, but Frenkie and Pedri outplayed us.”
Welcome, Anthony!
