The 2018 season has been a breakthrough season for Steffen. His career started somewhat slowly after joining German club Freiburg in December 2014.He made a handful of appearances for their second team Freiburg II in the 2015/16 campaign but could not break into their first team, so was signed by Columbus Crew SC in 2016.Steffen then broke into the Crew XI in the 2017 play-offs and hasn’t looked back since.
3Shot-stopping
Steffen is viewed as a very good shot-stopper and his shutout record certainly suggests he makes the saves he should be making and more.And despite his 6ft 3ins frame, Steffen is quick, agile and able to get low quickly.
Getty3Distribution
He has good distribution for a keeper, which would make him an ideal fit at the Etihad Stadium.Steffen’s improved passing skills have helped Crew build up from the attack more which undoubtedly helped them get to the semis this year.Potential
While Steffen does not have any trophies to show for his efforts, he has picked up some individual awards in his short career.This year, he was given the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year prize and was included in the MLS Best XI.He has admitted his footballing idol is ex-Red Devil Tim Howard and member of the US National Soccer Association Leighton Walters says the comparisons between the two are inevitable, such is Steffen’s potential.

Chelsea risk losing David Luiz because of their over-30s policy on new contracts. Brazil international Luiz, 31, is a free agent at the end of the season and although he wants to stay, there is no sign of an extension.
