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."
