'I don’t have any plans to go back' - Man City goalkeeper Zack Steffen confirms he wants to leave club

Manchester City goalkeeper Zack Steffen says he has no plans to return to the Etihad Stadium when his loan at Middlesbrough expires.

USA goalkeeper Steffen, 27, signed for City in 2019 for Columbus Crew, before immediately spending a season in Germany where he impressed at Fortuna Dusseldorf. He would then spend two seasons as an understudy to Ederson, making 21 appearances in total.

However, Steffen was never quiet about his ambitions to play more, and he joined Middlesbrough this season in order to play regularly and give himself the best chance of making the USA World Cup squad in December.
