Middlesbrough have completed the signing of goalkeeper Radek Vitek from Manchester United in a deal worth up to £14m, setting a new transfer record for a second-tier goalkeeper. The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at Bristol City, where he impressed with 12 clean sheets, and now joins Boro as their seventh summer signing.
Middlesbrough have finalized an agreement to sign U.S. men's national team and Columbus Crew defender Max Arfsten. Sources told GOAL last week that the deal is worth up to $7.5 million. The move to the Championship club sees Arfsten link up with USMNT teammates Sebastian Berhalter and Aidan Morris, both of whom are also Crew products.
Manchester United goalkeeper Radek Vitek is on the verge of completing a permanent transfer to Championship side Middlesbrough. The talented youngster was left on the bench during the recent pre-season victory over Atletico Madrid, clearly signalling his impending departure from Old Trafford as he actively searches for regular first-team football ahead of the new campaign.
