Anthony Gordon - Completes Barcelona move Gordon has signed with Barcelona for the next five years after leaving Premier League side Newcastle United, his new club announced Friday.

Impact Gordon will begin his La Liga career after his participation with England in the 2026 World Cup. The talented forward has played both on the left wing and as a striker in recent years, so he should give his new squad a versatile asset in the contention with Raphinha and Ferran Torres, perhaps fitting more in a central role with Robert Lewandowski no longer on the team. Last season, Gordon contributed 17 goals and five assists across 41 matches played (33 starts) counting Premier League, FA Cup and UCL competitions.

Joao Cancelo - Relentless energy in back line Cancelo has been named in Portugal's World Cup squad and is expected to be one of the most dynamic and versatile attacking outlets for the Selecao throughout the tournament.

Impact Cancelo joined Barcelona on loan in January and made 16 La Liga appearances, scoring two goals and adding two assists before the end of the campaign, demonstrating his quality even after a spell away from top European football with Al Hilal. The experienced international brings a wealth of Champions League and international experience to Portugal's setup, and his ability to play on either flank gives coach Martinez a flexible option that can adapt to different tactical scenarios. Cancelo heads into the World Cup with renewed confidence after his strong second half of the season with Barcelona and will be determined to play a key role for the Selecao this summer.

Raphinha - Set for key role with Brazil Raphinha is expected to be one of the most important players in Brazil's attack ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Impact Raphinha was unable to match the impressive numbers he posted in 2024/25, when he had 31 goals and 17 assists between LaLiga and the Champions League, but he still managed 16 goals and five assists in 2025/26 across both competitions. Raphinha figures to be a key player for Brazil alongside Vinicius Junior, but it remains to be seen where he'll line up. If Neymar is available, Raphinha could start on the right wing, but he could also be deployed as a No. 10 in favor of starting someone like Gabriel Martinelli or Rayan on that flank. Regardless of the position, look for Raphinha to be a key player for Brazil in the upcoming tournament.

Frenkie De Jong - Needs rhythm ahead of World Cup de jong has been named in Ronald Koeman's squad for the 2026 World Cup, arriving as one of the most important creative and defensive presences in the Dutch midfield.

Impact de jong endured a season heavily disrupted by injuries, managing one goal and six assists alongside 55 tackles and 25 interceptions across 33 appearances including 21 starts in all competitions. The numbers tell the story of a player who struggled to build any consistent rhythm throughout the campaign, with his last 16 appearances all limited to under half an hour, raising legitimate questions about his match sharpness heading into the tournament. Getting him to full fitness before the Netherlands' opening fixture will be one of the key priorities for manager Ronald Koeman and his medical staff over the coming weeks. When fit and firing, de jong remains one of the most technically accomplished midfielders in world football, combining elite passing range, intelligent positioning and a surprising defensive output that makes him almost impossible to replace in the Dutch system. The World Cup represents the perfect stage for the 29-year-old to remind the world of his quality after a frustrating domestic season, and coach Ronald Koeman will be hoping the weeks leading up to the tournament give him enough time to rediscover the form that makes him one of the most complete midfielders of his generation.

Raphinha - Misses finale due to rest Raphinha (undisclosed) was out for the season finale due to caution after a season of taxing injuries, according to Xavier Munoz of Mundo Deportivo.

Impact Raphinha was already thought to have missed the season finale due to rest as he prepares for the World Cup, and that claim is true, not being risked after a few injuries throughout the club season. This is a good sign for the player and Brazil, as he will be a key piece of the team if they want to find success in the tournament. He is lined up to start immediately, with that claim further backed up after any injury concerns were waved off, recording 16 goals and five assists in 29 appearances (24 starts) this season between UCL play and La Liga play. If this play continues, he could be in for a solid tournament, even a decent shout for a Golden boot depending on how far his team makes it.

Jules Kounde - Expected to start at right-back Kounde (undisclosed) has been named in France's World Cup squad and is expected to be one of the first names on coach Didier Deschamps' teamsheet throughout the tournament if deeme...

Impact Kounde ended the campaign having been one of La Liga's most complete defenders, contributing three goals, four assists, 49 crosses, 67 tackles, 42 interceptions and 82 clearances across 40 appearances (34 starts) for Barcelona. The versatile right-back heads into the World Cup as one of the best defenders in the world, combining elite defensive solidity with the ability to drive forward and contribute in attack. His performances for club and country over the past two seasons have made him an indispensable figure in France's setup, and coach Deschamps will lean on him heavily throughout the competition, although he will likely face the competition of Malo Gusto and Warren Zaire-Emery for the spot.

Impact Yamal has unsurprisingly made the Spain World Cup roster, and his picture for the tournament following an injury to end the season seems to be much clearer, as the forward is now eyeing a return in their opener. This comes after he was eyeing a return in their final group stage match, but now the June 15 opener against Cape Verde seems feasible. The team will see a major boost from his return if this can come to fruition, as the young Spaniard was a standout at Euro 2024 and looks to continue his national team success at the World Cup, bound to start once deemed fit.
