Brentford have signed Albania goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha on a free transfer.

The 27-year-old, who has earned 19 caps for Albania, joins on a four-year deal after leaving Lazio at the end of last season

"I am pleased that we have managed to sign a top goalkeeper," Brentford manager Thomas Frank said.

"He has been number one at Lazio for a long time, which is very impressive. He has played in Serie A and European competition and will bring that experience with him."

Brentford's goalkeeper coach Manu Sotelo added: "He fits perfectly with the sort of goalkeeper we want here. He can give us a lot of solutions playing from the back, he is an outstanding shot-stopper and is very good positionally."
