LONDON - Albania international goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha has joined Brentford following his departure from Lazio.
Strakosha has signed a three-year deal, which contains the option of a further 12 months, and follows Aaron Hickey and Keane Lewis-Potter in joining Brentford ahead of their second season in the Premier League.
The 27-year-old made more than 200 appearances for Lazio, but he did not sign a new deal with the Serie A side and became a free agent at the start of July.
He will link up with his new team-mates on the German leg of their pre-season tour in the coming days.
"I am pleased that we have managed to sign a top goalkeeper," Brentford boss Thomas Frank told the club's official website.
"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.
"He fits our goalkeeper model and comes into a good environment with David Raya and Matthew Cox pushing each other every day."
Greek-born Strakosha has been capped 19 times for Albania and was also touted as a possible target for fellow Premier League sides Manchester United and Fulham.
Brentford, who twice broke their transfer record in signing Hickey and then Lewis-Potter over the past week, begin their new campaign at Leicester City on August 7.
