Before that, he\u2019d spent time at Arsenal and N\u00fcrnberg, eventually impressing enough in Germany for Stuttgart to buy him outright. Both Roma and Villarreal were sniffing around last summer, but a deal with Villarreal fell through when they wouldn\u2019t match West Ham\u2019s asking price. While he stayed put then, the club now seems much more determined to sell.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll have two years left on his contract by the end of the season, but Transfermarkt currently values him at just \u20ac15m.

(Photo by Mark Thompson\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mavropanos has been a regular this term, starting 25 Premier League games and chipping in with three goals, all of which came at home. Statistically, he\u2019s performing well for a defender; his non-penalty expected goals (xG) per 90 minutes puts him in the top 60% of the league. On the defensive side, he\u2019s averaging about <a href=\"https:\/\/footystats.org\/players\/greece\/konstantinos-mavropanos\">1.5 tackles and over 7 clearances every game.<\/a> Still, West Ham have conceded 31 goals while he\u2019s been on the pitch, averaging a goal against every 64 minutes, which might give scouts a bit of pause regarding his consistency at the back.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>West Ham shouldn\u2019t let him go for cheap<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/2026\/04\/chelsea-are-keeping-a-keen-eye-on-this-west-ham-united-star\/\">West Ham<\/a> held their ground last summer when no one met their price, and they should do the same now.

He\u2019s a goal threat in the air and already knows the Bundesliga inside out, making him a perfect fit for German suitors.
