Columbus Crew Transfers Star Max Arfsten to MiddlesbroughCOLUMBUS, OH – After over three years since his debut with the Crew, Max Arfsten officially closes this chapter in Columbus. The all-star wingback is headed overseas to Middlesbrough FC in England after agreeing to an undisclosed fee with the Crew. Arfsten is not the first, or even second player with ties to the Crew to continue his career in England with Middlesbrough. His transfer comes a week after Middlesbrough acquired former Crew midfielder Sebastian Berhalter from the Vancouver Whitecaps. Both players join midfielder Aidan Morris, who made the switch from Columbus to North Yorkshire in the summer of 2024.
