Konstantinos Mavropanos receives a heartfelt farewell from the club, which will excite West Ham supporters.
It is now clear that West Ham has signed Konstantinos Mavropanos in place of Harry Maguire after spent much of the transfer window pursuing him.
Following a conversation with the new man following the Chelsea victory, Hammers News exclusively gave you the first words of our third summer acquisition on Monday.
Reports from other sources claiming a failed medical turned out to be nothing more than typical West Ham troublemaking.
And yesterday night, the large Greek defender who joined West Ham from Stuttgart was duly officially introduced.
Club sends wonderful goodbye to departing star and it will excite West Ham fans
In these circumstances, a player’s quality and character can frequently be evaluated based on the send-off they receive from their former team.
Both Ajax and Southampton sent heartfelt parting messages and goodbye films to Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse. West Ham was able to see why after the pair assisted them in their first-ever 3-1 victory over Chelsea.
West Ham supporters will be thrilled by his old club’s magnificent farewell to outgoing hero Mavropanos.
Stuttgart gave the close to 6ft 5in central defender known as “Dinos” an emotional greeting and video montage via social media. West Ham will now be hoping to see all the characteristics he brings to a team in the claret and blue, as they were all commended in the article.
“THANK YOU, dinos!” Stuttgart proclaimed next to love hearts.
We appreciate your 89 fierce games played in Brustring shirts, your frequently unyielding dueling, your intense playing style, and your unwavering dedication to VfB.
A giant with all the attributes needed to be a success in the Prem as an older, wise pro
The first thing I noticed about Mavropanos when we first met was how imposing he is.
I am 6 feet 1 inch tall, and the 25-year-old is just under 6 feet 5 inches, yet I still felt dwarfed by him.
He is a lone wolf, and it is simple to understand why others have called him a monster.
He has hands the size of shovels and has the appearance of a brick wall. He therefore appears to possess all the physical attributes necessary for a defender to succeed in the Premier League now that he has a second shot as an experienced professional after his time with the Gunners as a young player.
Mavropanos had the most interceptions last season, making him one of the finest centre-backs in the Bundesliga statistically.
