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 to Fabrizio Romano.
The deal itself is reportedly agreed at €20m, plus €5m in add-ons, with 10% of the fee going to Mavropanos’ former club and West Ham’s rivals, Arsenal.
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.
