Anthony Gordon finally completed his move to Barcelona from Newcastle United on Friday night.
The United star moving in a widely reported £70m deal.
A lot of people asked for their opinion on the Anthony Gordon transfer.
Former Newcastle United striker Salomon Rondon is the latest.
His single NUFC season was a highly successful 2018/19 one.
Salomon Rondon then signed by Rafa Benitez for Everton, for 18 months at the same club as Anthony Gordon.
The former striker talking to Diario Sport about his former teammate moving to La Liga: “I understand why Barccelona signed Anthony Gordon for that amount of money, especially knowing that Anthony has enormous potential and a huge future, he is very versatile and incredibly fast. I think he reached speeds of up to 37 kilometres per hour while at Newcastle. Technically he is very good, his one-on-one ability is another of his strengths. He fits perfectly into the style of this Barca and can be a very important piece.”.
Salomon Rondon reflecting on what he first saw with the player.
His opinion on Anthony Gordon when at Goodison: “I played with Anthony Gordon at Everton when he was quite young, and he is very professional, he was a very focused guy even back then. I’m sure he will do very well because of his conviction and his focus on football. Anthony has competed very strongly in the Champions League and in the Premier League he was undoubtedly one of the standout players.”
The former Newcastle United striker has no doubts about what is now going to happen.
Rondon looking ahead to next season and beyond for Anthony Gordon: “I’m sure he’s going to tear up the league because it is a very dynamic style of football and besides, he is playing for a Barcelona side that plays the ball very well and is always looking for space. I wish him all the best because he deserves it.”
