The transfer market update further confirms Barton's joining on loan.
The 26-year-old Barton is a versatile striker who can play both as a winger and a striker. Currently, Guoan has a number of powerful strikers such as Bakambu, Zhang Yuning and Wang Ziming, which has drastically reduced Barton's playing opportunities in the team. Looking back at last season, he only made three substitute appearances in the Chinese Super League, accumulating 42 minutes of playing time, compared to the previous three seasons, his performance can be described as a world of difference.
