Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly advancing to the final stages of a deal to sign goalkeeper Mark Flekken from Brentford, with the Dutch shot-stopper expected to become the new number one under recently appointed head coach Erik ten Hag.
Personal terms are understood to be no issue for Flekken, indicating that the player is keen on the move to the Bundesliga giants.
Club-to-club talks between Bayer Leverkusen and Brentford are also well underway, suggesting that negotiations are progressing smoothly.
Flekken, currently Brentford’s first-choice goalkeeper, has impressed in the Premier League.
His potential arrival at Leverkusen would see him become a key figure in Ten Hag’s plans as the new manager looks to shape his squad for the upcoming season.
With Xabi Alonso having departed, Ten Hag will be keen to bring in players who fit his philosophy, and Flekken’s ability and experience make him an ideal candidate for the goalkeeping role.
