Flekken 'became one of the best goalkeepers in the league'
Mark Flekken "became one of the best goalkeepers in the league" despite "a tough beginning", says Brentford's goalkeeper coach Manu who made 77 appearances for the Bees after joining from Freiburg in May 2023, has now returned to the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen for about £8m."Mark was a great number one for us on and off the pitch," said Sotelo. "Despite a tough beginning, he ended up being a really important player."Offensively, he helped us to play from the back on another level, but not just playing short as he got three assists in two seasons."Defensively, he became a really solid goalkeeper after an uncomfortable transition after changing countries. The Premier League is ruthless, but he became one of the best goalkeepers in the league."He was relentless in training and leading our young goalkeepers. His impact here was massive and we wish him all the best for the future."
