About a fortnight ago, Chelsea were deemed as favourites to sign goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha.
The 27-year-old Albania international is a free agent and had been linked with when Petr Cech was working for the club.
Cech was targeting Strakosha as a possible backup for Edouard Mendy, in the emergence that Kepa Arrizabalaga may leave this summer.
Strakosha has spent his entire career under contract to Lazio, having one loan spell at Salernitana back in 2015/16.
Since Petr Cech’s departure, talks with Strakosha has died a natural death.
According to reports, Thomas Strakosha is set to join Brentford in this summer transfer window.
According to reports, Strakosha is now in London to perform his medicals ahead of a move to Brentford.
