Konstantinos Mavropanos

Loan to 1. FC Nürnberg On 13 January 2020, after struggling for match time at Arsenal, Mavropanos moved to 2. Bundesliga club 1. FC Nürnberg on loan for the remainder of the 2019–20 season, and the Greek international picked up momentum in the heart of the Nuremberg defence with three stellar performances in a row. He won consecutive Man of the Match awards in his second and third game for the club, before making a key goalline clearance in his fourth. On 25 February 2020, Mavropanos picked up an injury playing against Darmstadt 98; the club was unsure of how long he would be absent.

Loan and permanent move to VfB Stuttgart On 16 July 2020, Mavropanos signed a new deal with Arsenal and joined VfB Stuttgart on a €250,000 loan for the 2020–21 season. At Stuttgart he was reunited with Sven Mislintat who had originally scouted and signed the player for Arsenal. On 3 October 2020, Mavropanos made his competitive debut for Stuttgart in the Bundesliga against Bayer Leverkusen; the game ended in a 1–1 draw. On 15 October 2020, Mavropanos suffered an injury during a friendly with SC Freiburg and underwent an operation on his meniscus.

On 24 June 2021, his loan deal was extended for a second season, with an option to make the loan permanent with a purchase option of €3.5 million at the end of the season. On 7 August 2021, a week before hosting Greuther Fürth for the Bundesliga premiere, Mavropanos scored a header from a corner kick against BFC Dynamo as he started the first round of the DFB-Pokal. On 28 August 2021, Mavropanos scored his first Bundesliga goal as he battled his way through three defenders before exchanging passes with Hamadi Al Ghaddioui and sent a fine finish into the top corner in a home Bundesliga game against SC Freiburg. On 2 October 2021, with an hour played, Mavropanos collected the ball on the right, burst through the Hoffenheim defence, and unleashed a fierce left-footed drive to double Stuttgart's advantage in a 3–1 home Bundesliga win. On 16 October 2021, the Greek central defender opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a shot from 30 meters and against the flow of the match, eventually sealing a 1–1 away draw against Borussia Mönchengladbach. On 11 December 2021, he opened the score with a tremendous kick in a vital away 2–0 win against VfL Wolfsburg in the club effort to avoid relegation. This was the fourth goal of the season for the defender.

After the German club avoided relegation in May 2022, a purchase option for Mavropanos with a contract until June 2025 at Stuttgart was triggered.

West Ham United

On 22 August 2023, it was announced that Mavropanos had signed for English club West Ham United on a five-year contract for a €25 million fee. 10% of the transfer fee was payable to Arsenal as they had inserted a sell-on clause in the player's contract when he was sold in 2022. He is the first Greek player to play for West Ham. He made his debut for the club on 21 September in 3–1 Europa League win over TSC Bačka Topola. On 28 December, he scored his first goal for West Ham in a 2–0 away win against his former club Arsenal.

Mavropanos scored the winning penalty kick to take West Ham to the FA Cup quarter-finals against Brentford on 9 March 2026. Later that week, on 14 March, he scored his second Premier League goal, leading to a 1–1 draw against Manchester City. The goal was later given the West Ham goal of the month award for March. On 10 April, Mavropanos scored his third and fourth Premier League goals, in West Ham’s 4–0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers. Following his performances for the club in the 2025–26 season, Mavropanos was voted as Hammer of the Year by the club's supporters.

International career On 24 March 2021, Mavropanos was called up to the Greek senior team by coach John van 't Schip for the forthcoming World Cup 2022 qualifiers against Spain and Georgia. On 28 March 2021, he made his debut with the national team as a substitute in a friendly against Honduras.

On 10 September 2023, Mavropanos scored a brace in a UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying 5–0 win against Gibraltar, his first goals for the national team.
