Barcelona star Pau Cubarsí has this week provided his take on the club’s recent big-money signing of Anthony Gordon.
Wide-man Gordon of course put pen to paper on a long-term contract in Catalunya’s capital late last month.
After a quickfire round of negotiations between the clubs, in something of a bolt from the blue, Barca announced that they had secured the explosive attacker’s services from Premier League outfit Newcastle United.
The Blaugrana are thought to have beaten out stiff competition for a player who was in demand across not only England, but all of Europe this summer.
And one individual evidently excited by the prospect of lining out alongside Gordon for the seasons to come is the aforementioned Pau Cubarsí.
Drawn on the name of his new teammate during an exchange with the media whilst at the World Cup this week, the young defender explained:
“I like Gordon’s signing for Barça. We played against him in the Champions League. Gordon is a very intense player, with a lot of running, and he sacrifices himself for the team. That is very important.”
