It’s shaping up to be a busy old summer for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta continues to stamp his own authority on his squad.

Yesterday’s 2-1 defeat at the hands of bitter rivals Tottenham leaves their chances of European football next season looking slim.

That could mean a summer of wheeling and dealing for Arteta, with several fringe players likely to be offloaded.

One man who could be on his way out of Arsenal sooner rather than later is Konstantinos Mavropanos.

The Greek defender has reportedly agreed to sign for Bundesliga outfit Stuttgart, according to Sport FM.

The 22-year-old signed for the Gunners in 2018, costing £1.8 million from Giannina but has played just eight times for Arsenal.

In January he signed for Nuremburg and helped the second-tier German side avoid relegation.

Given his tender years, some supporters anticipated the £25,000-a-week warrior might be given another shot at the Emirates Stadium.

That won’t be in the short-term with the player undergoing a medical at Stuttgart yesterday, according to the reports.

Following this latest development, some Arsenal fans have taken to social media to discuss the pending deal.

It would seem that plenty of supporters would prefer Mavropanos to be staying at the Emirates for next season.

Here is a selection of tweets from the Arsenal faithful regarding another loan spell for the central defender.
