Gerard Deulofeu Lázaro (Spanish: [ɟʝeˈɾaɾ ðewloˈfew ˈlaθaɾo]; born 13 March 1994) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger. He is currently a free agent.
He started his career with local Catalan side 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. After a successful loan spell at Italian side AC Milan, he was brought back to Barcelona in June 2017, before being loaned to English club Watford in January 2018; later that year, Watford signed him outright. He then returned to Italy, joining fellow club Udinese on loan in October 2020, signing permanently for the latter on January the following year.
Deulofeu is a former 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. In 2014, he made his senior debut for the Spain national team.
