Konstantinos Mavropanos was sold by Arsenal to German Bundesliga team VfB Stuttgart last summer. Despite his brief stint in north London, the defender has since seen his value rise to £18m. West Ham United were reportedly interested in signing him for a similar fee last year, indicating his potential. Arsenal are currently at the top of the Premier League table, and Mavropanos has the ability to break into the team’s central defensive pairing of Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba. The Gunners board may regret not giving the player a second chance at the Emirates, as he has been steadily improving during his three years on loan in Germany.
Arsenal’s Konstantinos Mavropanos is among the hottest prospects in football. The Greek defender’s stock continues to rise with every passing season, and it’s beginning to look like Arsenal made a mistake by selling him for just £18m last summer.
Mavropanos joined the Gunners in 2018 but only made eight first team appearances under Unai Emery. His talent was obvious, and Arsenal have since seen the 23-year-old’s value substantially increase. The loan to VfB Stuttgart may have been a blessing in disguise, as the German Bundesliga team quickly saw his potential and handed him regular first team minutes.
Last season West Ham expressed their interest in the player, offering around the same fee Arsenal accepted from Stuttgart in 2020. This only serves to show the immense potential Mavropanos possess, and it could prove costly for Arsenal.
At the moment, Arsenal are first in the Premier League and have a formidable defensive pairing in Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba. However, many fans have speculated that Mavropanos has the ability to compete for a spot in the Starting XI.
Konstantinos Mavropanos has been improving every season, and his impressive stats this season for Stuttgart suggest he could provide stiff competition for the starting lineup in the Emirates. It appears that Arsenal may have made a mistake in selling the player too early, and their board may soon regret not giving Mavropanos a second chance.
