West Ham are preparing an offer to sign Arsenal loanee defender Konstantinos Mavropanos this summer, according to reports. However, in the current loan agreement with Stuttgart, he has a clause that could see him join the Bundesliga club for just €3million (£2.5million).
It’s a clause that could complicate matters, and may see the Gunners miss out on a large transfer windfall. The 24-year-old has been a key figure in Germany since making the move, making 28 appearances, scoring four goals in the process.
football.london understands that Mikel Arteta had doubts over Mavropanos' ball distribution, despite the Greek international's impressive passing statistics in the Bundesliga last season. It means an exit is more than likely anyhow.
