Hammers boss David Moyes will undoubtedly be on the look-out for a new central defender before the start of next season, having sold Craig Dawson in January and with ongoing concerns about the long-term fitness of Kurt Zouma.

Mavropanos, 25, left Arsenal to join Stuttgart original on loan in 2022, and made his move to the Bundesliga club a permanent one last summer.

Now he could be set to make a return to the Premier League…

West Ham eying Konstantinos Mavropanos swoop

London World reckon that the Hammers could battle Wolves for the Greek ace’s signature in the summer transfer window.

I think that the former Arsenal ace would be a truly excellent addition for West Ham.

He could be available for just £17 million as well according to Bild – an absolute bargain!

The Bundesliga’s official website has described the Arsenal loanee as an ‘excellent’ defender as well as a ‘gladiator’.

The Stuttgart ace is a top-class defender and possesses all of the physical attributes needed to go on and succeed in the Premier League.

Standing at 6ft 4in tall, Mavropanos is an absolute powerhouse in the air and has won an average of 2.9 aerial duels per game in 26 Bundesliga outings this term (Who Scored).

During those appearances, the centre-back has averaged 1.8 tackles, 2.3 interceptions and 3.5 clearances per match. He has made 50.8 passes per match on average and has recorded a 83.2% completion rate (Who Scored).

Konstantinos Mavropanos would be an exceptional addition for West Ham. He would make us a much stronger unit defensively and for £17 million, Moyes can’t go wrong by bringing him to the London Stadium this summer.
