Manchester City are eyeing a move for Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster.

Although now 38-years-old, Foster has played 22 times for Watford this season who on Saturday sealed an instant promotion back to the Premier League following relegation a year ago.

But The Sun says City want an experienced pair of hands ready to step in between the sticks in Foster, with doubts creeping in over current deputy Zack Steffen.

The report states the 26-year-old American has previously raised doubts over his maturity and consistency and that was before his error that led to City's quadruple dreams come to crashing end this month when they were beaten 1-0 by Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.

Steffen could now be sent out on loan having played 11 times across all competitions this season and keeping five clean sheets.

City want experience to challenge No 1 Ederson and already have Scott Carson at the Etihad Stadium as a third choice option.
