The England international arrived from Newcastle with the challenge of adapting to a club with an established identity and a squad already familiar with Hansi Flick's demands. However, his integration has reportedly been helped by the support of the senior players and the welcome he received from the group.
Barcelona's dressing room is described as one of the most united in recent years, with the squad believing it has responded positively to external criticism and the demands of the season. The recent victories over Aston Villa and Atlético Madrid have further lifted the mood.
Gordon, meanwhile, has made a particularly strong impression away from the pitch. His willingness to learn the language and understand the club's culture has helped him become part of the group.
The forward revealed that he began Spanish lessons as soon as he learned he would be joining Barcelona.
“With the classes I've had here at the England camp, I've now had a total of nine lessons,” he said.
His interest in Spanish began before his move to Catalonia. During his time at Newcastle, Gordon practised the language with club physiotherapist Daniel Martí and even picked up some Catalan.
Eric Garcia has also spoken positively about the forward's character and his efforts to settle into the squad.
“I think he has fitted into the dressing room very well. He is a very noble, very humble, very hard-working lad, and I think he will continue to help us a lot. A few words. And now he is also learning Catalan,” Garcia said.
“In the dressing room we try to make things easy for him, we try to help him a little with some words, but yes, he is taking Catalan lessons.”
Gordon's adaptation has also been noticeable among supporters, who have taken to singing his name and displaying banners in his honour.
There is satisfaction inside the club with the way he has settled, even if his performances on the pitch have not yet reached the level he hopes to achieve. He is still adjusting to Barcelona's distinctive style, but there is confidence that his understanding of the team's football will continue to improve.
The early signs suggest Gordon has made the transition into his new surroundings smoothly. His language lessons, attitude and willingness to embrace the club's culture have all helped him establish himself within the squad.
