Middlesbrough manager Chris Wilder has heralded the capture of Zack Steffen as "a big coup" after the Championship side completed the signing of the Manchester City goalkeeper on Tuesday.
City have agreed to send Steffen to Middlesbrough on loan for the 2022/23 season, following the arrival of free agent Stefan Ortega Moreno to act as back-up to Ederson. The American shot-stopper signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract at City in November, but with a World Cup on the horizon he wanted to play first team football to boost his chances of being selected for his country.
"I think it’s a big coup for us and so I’m delighted we’ve brought Zack in," Wilder said. "We knew we had to improve the goalkeeping department. We brought in Liam Roberts and now we’re adding Zack who has just signed a four-and-a-half-year deal with Man City.
