Fortuna Dusseldorf chief Pfannenstiel: Steffen the ideal modern goalkeeper

Fortuna Dusseldorf sports chief Lutz Pfannenstiel is delighted with the early impact of Zak Steffen.

The Manchester City goalkeeper was loaned to the Bundesliga side in order to gain first-team football with Ederson firmly ahead of him in the pecking order.

He told DAZN: “I flew to the USA again for an international game. There I met with his parents and talked to national coach Gregg Berhalter, so I just wanted to get to know the environment better.

“Zack is the absolute image of a modern goalkeeper, very good with both feet, very good in the air, technically well educated and very verbal."
