Gerard Deulofeu

On 21 October, he scored his first goal for the club as he scored the opener in the 2nd minute in a 2–0 win against Málaga.

On 29 October, he made his professional debut with the main squad, replacing Cesc Fàbregas in the 63rd minute of a 5–0 league home success against Mallorca.

After being an unused substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Valencia, Deulofeu made his debut on 30 August replacing Vitolo in the 73rd minute of a 2–1 away win against Espanyol.

He made his UEFA Europa League debut on 18 September, starting and providing assists for both goals in a 2–0 home victory against Feyenoord.

On 24 September Deulofeu scored his first goal for the Andalusians (and also his first ever in the top flight in Spain), netting the game's winner in a home success over Real Sociedad.

His loan was considered hugely unsuccessful, the Spanish newspaper Marca selected him in their La Liga 'Worst team of the season'.

His second came eight days later, through an 85th-minute strike at Arsenal to earn a 1–1 draw.

Gerard Deulofeu Lázaro (born 13 March 1994) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Serie A club Udinese.

Mainly a forward, he can also play as a winger on both flanks.

Born in Riudarenes, Girona, Catalonia, Deulofeu joined Barcelona's youth academy in 2003 at the age of nine.

In 2005, he was promoted to the U-13 team.

On 2 March 2011, still registered with the junior team, he made his senior debut, appearing for the B team in a 4–1 away win against Córdoba in Segunda División by coming on as a substitute for Edu Oriol in the 75th minute.

In late April 2011, Deulofeu was called up to the senior squad for the first time, for a La Liga match against Real Sociedad on 29 April, but did not leave the bench in a 2–1 away loss.

Deulofeu was also a Spanish youth international, having represented the country over 80 times at under-16, under-17, under-19, under-20 and under-21 levels, being named the UEFA Under-19 Championship Golden Player in 2012.

On 16 September 2012, Deulofeu scored his first goal for the B team, in a 2–1 away loss at Hércules.

Deulofeu scored 18 goals for the B team in the 2012–13 season, joint-fourth in the second level competition.

On 15 May 2013, he signed a professional contract with the Blaugrana first team, running until June 2017.

On 10 July 2013, Premier League club Everton signed Deulofeu on a season-long loan.

The Liverpool Echo also reported that any loan fee would be waived if he made appearances in more than 50% of his new club's games.

He scored on his debut for his new club, a 2–1 home win over Stevenage in the second round of the League Cup on 29 August.

On 30 November, Deulofeu scored his first league goal for the Toffees, netting the opener in a 4–0 home success against Stoke City.

On 14 December 2013, Deulofeu suffered a hamstring injury during Everton's 4–1 victory over Fulham, which sidelined him for five weeks.

He scored his third and last goal on 15 March of the following year, netting the opener in a 2–1 home win over Cardiff City.

He helped his team to record its best ever Premier League points tally of 72 to finish fifth and, at the end of the campaign, Barcelona confirmed that he would not be returning for a second loan spell as he had been promoted to their first-team squad; he wrote an open letter thanking the staff, players and fans for their support during his stay.

In 2014, he made his senior debut for the Spain national football team.

In May 2014, Deulofeu was granted a first-team place by new Barcelona manager Luis Enrique.

However, on 14 August 2014, Sevilla reached an agreement with Barcelona for the loan of Deulofeu for the coming season, with the player admitting "surprise" at Enrique's decision.

He started his career with Barcelona, first appearing with the first team at the age of 17, and was loaned to Everton and Sevilla before joining the former on a permanent deal in the summer of 2015.

Deulofeu joined Everton permanently on 1 July 2015, for a transfer fee reported to be £4.2 million.

He scored his first goal as a permanent Everton player, a free kick at the Madejski Stadium, as they came from behind to win 2–1 against Reading in the third round of the League Cup.

His first league goal since his transfer came on 1 November, the opening goal in a 6–2 rout of Sunderland.

After a successful loan spell at Italian side AC Milan, he was brought back to Barcelona in June 2017, before being loaned to Watford in January 2018; later that year, Watford signed him outright.

On 23 January 2017, Deulofeu joined AC Milan on loan until the end of the 2016–17 season.

Two days later, he made his debut with Milan in a Coppa Italia quarter-final match against Juventus, coming on as a substitute for Carlos Bacca in the 1–2 defeat.

On 29 January, he made his league debut as a substitute for the injured Giacomo Bonaventura in a loss by the same score against Udinese.

On 8 February, Deulofeu made his first assist, a low pass across the goalmouth towards Mario Pašalić, in a 0–1 away victory against Bologna, and 11 days later he scored his first goal for the Rossoneri in a 2–1 victory against Fiorentina at the San Siro.

On 30 June 2017, Deulofeu returned to Barcelona, as the club activated their buy-back clause for him.

On 29 January 2018, it was announced that Deulofeu was to join Watford on a loan deal until the end of the season.

On 5 February 2018, he scored his first goal with Watford in a Premier League 4–1 win against Chelsea.

On 11 June 2018, Watford signed Deulofeu on a permanent deal for a reported fee of €13 million.
