Middlesbrough transfer news: Chris Wilder makes admission on striker pursuit, Posh reject Blackburn Rovers bid for star man

Here is the latest from today’s Championship transfer news.

Middlesbrough completed their fourth signing of the summer earlier this week when they confirmed the loan arrival of Manchester City goalkeeper, Zach Steffen.

The move comes following the departures of Joe Lumley and Dejan Stojanovic.

After a rather long saga, the US international has spoken of his relief to finally join the club.

Steffen said: “I’m glad to finally be here. It’s been a lot of waiting and taken a lot of patience, but now it’s finally here and it’s good to be here. It’s been a long waiting game, with the move in the offing for about a month now. I had some passport issues that I had to deal with and that meant I had to stay in the States and train alone.

“That’s just life. You have to roll with the punches. I got some good training in and tried to stay fit as best of possible. I feel pretty good. Obviously, sharpness and all that is going to come with more training and I am looking forward to that. I’m glad that’s all sorted now and I’m happy we could finally get the deal done.”
