Freiburg goalkeeper Mark Flekken joins the Bees on a four-year contract; the Netherlands international kept 13 clean sheets in 34 Bundesliga matches during the 2022/23 campaign.

The 2022/23 season was a special one for the 29-year-old shot-stopper. He kept 13 clean sheets in 34 Bundesliga matches - the highest tally in the division - as Freiburg finished fifth.

He made his international debut for the Netherlands on 26 March 2022 in a 4-2 friendly win over Denmark, where he lined up against Brentford’s Christian Norgaard and Mathias Jensen. The keeper is now unbeaten in his four caps for his country.
