Steffen made his debut for the Blues against Bournemouth in the Carabao Cup and also played against Burnley. Steffen said in his press conference he feels “settled and like my confidence is back and ready for tomorrow” which will encourage City fans and make them feel excited to see the quality of their new second choice goalkeeper.

Here were some other thoughts from the American keeper’-

“Coming here was tough at first, but now I feel settled and comfortable and I’m ready for more. I’ve learned a lot so far,” said Steffen.

“In fact. it’s been a pleasure to be here; it’s been awesome. I feel like I’ve gotten better and it’s been fun so far.

“I think the goalkeeping staff do a really good job of continuing to push all the keepers on a day-to-day basis.

“You can’t just come to training and give 50 percent. It has to be 100 and that’s why we are one of the best clubs in the world.”

“I am excited to play another game at the Etihad. I have to take my opportunities when I get them like Carabao Cup and tomorrow.
