Manchester City keeper Zack Steffen admits he thought his agent was JOKING when the club approached to sign him from Columbus Crew in 2019 as the American reflects on 'surreal' experience of Premier League switch

Manchester City goalkeeper Zack Steffen admits he was left in shock after hearing the club wanted to sign him back in 2019 - claiming he thought he agent was playing a joke on him.

Steffen was turning out for MLS side Columbus Crew when the Premier League outfit came calling looking for an understudy to Brazilian star Ederson, and admitted the feeling of coming to terms with his move was 'very surreal' as he began to brush shoulders with the club's top stars.

'It's definitely surreal,' he told Soccer Bible.
