Konstantinos Mavropanos ‒ West Ham United

Recommended Posts

Joined Arsenal in January 2018 from PAS Giannina for £1.89m.

Arsene Wenger initially intended to send him out on loan, but his plans changed after seeing him in training. "The first signs he showed were so encouraging that I decided to keep him," he said.

Some Arsenal fans on twitter are calling this a sign of the end of Wenger, as Mavropanos was identified and pushed by Sven Mislintat (formerly of Borussia Dortmund, who also is at least partly responsible for Sokratis joining that club). It's implied that Wenger didn't even know who he was, which is why he was so surprised by him during training.

It's a great sign that he's being kept on until the end of the season, but it remains to be seen if he'll see any time. Arsenal has some problems defensively, including the pending retirement of Mertesacker, so expect a big signing next summer. Mavropanos will have to beat out several young prospects that are currently at the club (but who have failed to make a case for themselves).

started for Arsenal vs. Manchester United.

Despite Arsenal losing 2-1 he was rated 8/10 

and arsenal fans are praising him stating that he's a beast on multiple occasions.

Beat Fellaini on a few headers + kept Lukaku in his pocket and nullified a lot of his contribution.

That would be a dream combo from a Greek football perspective, and I think would serve Arsenal very well. Mavropanos needs to be called for the upcoming friendly. He just started for Arsenal in a league match vs Manchester United, I can`t see any situation more deserving.

He might be needed for the u21s re. I wouldn't mind seeing him in the senior team also. Galanopoulos deserves a call up for sure but them again the u21s need him too.

We already have Retsos and Donis. If the u21s are not playing at the same time as the seniors then we should play him. The u21s have 2 crucial matches left and it's important that they have a full squad. It's also for their development that they all play.

Yea but they don't have matches on May 15th when Greece plays a friendly vs Saudi Arabia.

When you start at Arsenal, there should be no question about a national team call up. He doesn`t have to play right away, but it is important to get him accustomed to the NT culture as early as possible, like we did with Sokrati. He will get to know his fellow countrymen, and this will give him an extra boost of confidence and yet another thing to look forward to and play for in his career.

Arsenal held a clean sheet. He was fine. A bit nervous, but that's normal being a 21 year old with only 1 premier league game under his belt and having not played in almost an entire calendar year. He did not make any costly mistakes. Koscielny, who was injured for a few months and has hundreds of top tier caps under his belt, was very rusty in his first 3-4 games coming back from injury this season. Our kid is more than alright.
