USA goalkeeper Zack Steffen has a medical at Championship side Middlesbrough ahead of season-long loan from Premier League champions Manchester City

Manchester City's American goalkeeper Zack Steffen underwent a medical at Championship side Middlesbrough yesterday ahead of a season-long loan.

The USMNT keeper leaves to secure first-team football ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, with recent Arsenal signing Matt Turner providing competition for the No 1 jersey.

Steffen has spent the last two seasons as understudy to Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson at City, and he has only played twice in the Premier League since his arrival in 2019.
