The stopper has been linked with a move to the Premier League for weeks and finally it was confirmed on Wednesday afternoon.

The 28-year-old has cost Brentford €13 million with Flekken signing a contract until the summer of 2027.

Flekken told the Brentford website, “I’m really looking forward to it. It’s a completely new chapter for me and a big step in my career. If you had told me this seven years ago, when I was still playing in the third division in Germany, I would have told you probably crazy.”
