West Ham: Konstantinos Mavropanos transfer update
David Moyes looks set to finally strengthen his backline…
After missing out on Harry Maguire, it looks as though David Moyes is finally set to strengthen his backline at West Ham United, with
an update emerging on Konstantinos Mavropanos.
The Hammers have so far signed just two reinforcements, in the form of James Ward-Prowse and Edson Alvarez. Now, however,
they’re reportedly securing one more.
What’s the latest on Konstantinos Mavropanos to West Ham?
With the London club targeting a centre-back this summer, VfB Stuttgart’s Mavropanos is set to undergo a medical, according

The Hammers turned to the former Gunner after facing rejection from Manchester United’s Maguire. With a deal in place with the
Red Devils, it was the England international’s decision that reportedly broke the move down.
Moyes looks to have finally got his defender, however, as West Ham look to avoid the chaos of a relegation battle this season, and
enjoy the comforts of mid-table, at the very least, instead.
On the opening day of the season, of course, they secured a point against Bournemouth, in what they may see as the foundation to
build from in the coming weeks.
Should West Ham sign Konstantinos Mavropanos?
After shipping 55 goals last season – the ninth-worst record in the league – it’s fair to say that West Ham needed reinforcements in
their backline this summer. And Mavropanos could prove to be an ideal choice.
The defender, who was one of the quickest in the Bundesliga, may have struggled to make his mark when at Arsenal, but ever since
switching London for Stuttgart, he has proven exactly why he got the move to the Gunners in the first place. He’s earned plenty of
praise in the process, too, with former Stuttgart manager Pellegrino Matarazzo saying, via the official Bundesliga website:
