Following Barcelona's signing of Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United for €70 million earlier this summer, pundit Graeme Souness expressed skepticism about the move. He highlighted Gordon's underwhelming performances for England in the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup, suggesting that if his conservative play continues, he may not last long at the club.
