Anthony Gordon – officially a player of the "Barcelona" club.

On Friday, the Catalonia club introduced its new acquisition, which cost 70 million euros, excluding bonuses.

Gordon unexpectedly spoke in Spanish at the press conference and then explained his excellent Spanish language skills.

"I wanted to speak Spanish because as a child I always believed I would represent the 'Barcelona' team. At 'Newcastle,' I had a physiotherapist who spoke Spanish, so we constantly spoke Spanish together.

I told him that I wanted to play one day in Barcelona, which is why I am speaking Spanish now," said the 25-year-old Englishman at the press conference.

In the last season, Gordon scored 17 goals and provided 4 assists.
