Anthony Gordon is no longer just a promising talent; he is fast becoming England’s most lethal weapon. After a breakout performance at the World Cup, the 25-year-old secured a high-profile summer switch to Barcelona, and his incredible form has shown no signs of slowing down as England battles in the Nations League.
Gordon’s international explosion really began during the World Cup knockout phase, where he started averaging a goal contribution every 69 minutes. He set the tone by assisting Harry Kane twice in a crucial 2-1 win over DR Congo. Since then, the former Newcastle star has tallied three goals and three assists in his last six appearances for England, including winning the decisive penalty in a dramatic last-16 victory over Mexico at the Azteca Stadium.
His club career is just as bright. After a strong start to life in Spain with five assists in La Liga, Gordon is quickly earning the reputation as a player Thomas Tuchel simply cannot afford to leave out of the starting lineup.
