Barcelona target Anthony Gordon as left-wing replacement

FC Barcelona have identified Anthony Gordon as their priority left‑wing signing. The 25‑year‑old English forward matches the profile favoured by Hansi Flick and Deco. Gordon is described as powerful, intense and ambitious, with a winning mentality. He also possesses good technique for dribbling, crossing and shooting. FC Barcelona seek a player with characteristics similar to Raphinha to reinforce the left side. The club aims to replace Raphinha’s style with a comparable profile. The prospect of signing Gordon created a quorum between the coach and the sporting director. Both Flick and Deco view the Englishman as the ideal candidate.
