Premier League champions Manchester City have signed German goalkeeper Stefan Ortega on a three-year contract.
The 29-year-old was signed on free transfer from relegated Bundesliga side Arminia Bielefeld as new back-up goalkeeper for first-choice Ederson.
Ortega will serve as No. 2 to replace current Zack Steffen who is expected to leave on a season-long loan this summer to Middlesbrough.
On the signing of Ortega, Director of football Txiki Begiristain said: “He has joined to compete with the other goalkeepers and help our youngsters, so it’s a transfer we are really pleased to have secured.”
New signing Ortega expressed his excitement on the signing: “To be given the chance to join this group of players and help continue the club’s success is a dream for me”.
