U.S. men’s national team goalkeeper Zack Steffen is expected to join Championship side Middlesbrough on loan from Manchester City for the upcoming season, according to the Manchester Evening News.
In the past two seasons, Steffen has won two Premier League medals, but only made two Premier League appearances for Man City while sitting behind starting keeper Ederson. Across all competitions during that time, the 27-year-old has made 21 appearances as City’s regular starter in domestic cups.
The move is likely to come as a touch of good news for USMNT fans during a World Cup year, should Steffen become the regular starter.
