They made an offer to sign the attack-minded left-back in the summer transfer window, but Columbus Crew were adamant that he was not for sale. ‌Arfsten was said to be keen on the move to Boro at the time, with interest in France also. Arfsten conducted a press conference earlier this week with US reporters as Columbus began pre-season ahead of the new MLS campaign. Boro also added left-back Finley Munroe in the January transfer window.
