André Gomes talks Barcelona move, position change, says Leo Messi has helped him adapt to new club

André Gomes has been one of the pleasant surprises of the early stages of this new Barcelona season. His signing from Valencia in the summer was somewhat of a shock, since the young Portuguese international hadn't been even linked with the club, and many fans thought it was a bad idea to bring him, especially for a €35 million price tag.

But the 23-year-old has done very well in his first few months at the club, playing in a few different positions and looking composed and calm in all of them, even as a backup to Sergio Busquets.
