On April 11, the German transfer market announced heavy news: Beijing Guoan player Barton officially joined Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in the form of a lease until December 31, 2021 contract.
Renowned media personality Li Xuan posted photos of Barton doing team training with Jinmen Tigers on Weibo today, confirming previous rumors about him joining the club. The latest data from the German Transfer Market also shows that Barton has officially leased to Jinmen Tigers.
Barton, 26, has the ability to play both as a winger and a striker. Currently, Guoan's team has a host of strikers such as Bakambu, Zhang Yuning and Wang Ziming, so Barton's playing time has been drastically reduced. In last season's Chinese Super League, he made only three substitute appearances for Guoan, accumulating 42 minutes, a significant decline in performance compared to the previous three seasons.
