Anthony Gordon explains how Barcelona move changed his reputation in England

Anthony Gordon believes his move to Barcelona has changed how he is perceived in England, with the winger claiming his technical ability is now receiving greater recognition. Speaking to ITV, as reported by Barca Universal, Gordon said he was previously viewed mainly for his pace and pressing ability during his Premier League career.

The England international believes playing in Barcelona’s possession-based system has allowed his intelligence and technical qualities to become more visible. Gordon admitted he wanted to leave the Premier League to experience a different style of football and challenge himself abroad. Barcelona signed the 27-year-old from Newcastle for €70 million, with a further €10 million available in potential add-ons.
