Thomas Strakosha doesn’t seem to be at all content with his circumstances at Brentford under Thomas Frank.
Many anticipated that the Albanian international, whose contract with Lazio expired, would take over in goal. He arrived on a free transfer.
That hasn’t been the case, as he has spent the majority of his time at Brentford on the bench, and he has now expressed his dissatisfaction in an interview with Gianluca Di Marzio.
The 28-year-old stated unequivocally that he “needs to play” more for the Premier League team than he does at the moment and that “the club must also find a solution.”
He added that he knows what he can bring to a team and knows who is, and with the Euros coming up, he might need to move.
Strakosha continued: “I would never come to be a bench player. I’ve never done that in my life, so I’m certainly not doing it now. I had a long injury last year, and anything can happen in life. You don’t give up… even though I was expecting more this year. Now I just want to be well and for that I have to find a solution.”

Asked he if could leave 18 months after arriving at Brentford, the goalkeeper said: “There is always the possibility, but it depends on both of us (him and Brentford). Let’s see what happens.”
Gianluca Di Marzio’s website add that in order to convince him to sign, the Bees had ‘promised Strakosha that he would be the starter’.
The Albania international has only made four appearances in all competitions for Brentford this season, conceding six goals during those.
That takes his total to six games for the club in 18 months, which, compared to his 208 games at Lazio, where he was mostly the starting goalkeeper, is very little.
