If you miss one chance – don’t give up. Just keep going, keep improving and wait for another opportunity to shine. It’s a simple concept, but many people find it impossible to implement. Konstantinos Mavropanos is not one of them.The Greek defender has established himself with VfB Stuttgart in Germany over the past three years and invited a lot of interest around Europe. Dutch giants Ajax are big fans of the 25-year-old, but it looks like Nottingham Forest are the closest to agreeeing a transfer which would take Mavropanos back to England.##NAJAVA_MECA_7347554##This 194-centimetre-tall mountain of a man was only 20 years old when Arsenal paid just over $2 million to sign him from the Greek side PAS Giannina in 2018. He spent most of the time playing for Arsenal’s Under-23s side, but he did have a baptism of fire in the Premier League because his first-team debut was the trip to Old Trafford, in which the Gunners lost 2-1 to Manchester United. Even though he did pretty well at the Theatre of Dreams, the Greek was restricted to just seven PL games over two seasons. The chances were scarce, so he was sent to Germany on loan – initially to second-tier Nurnberg in the latter half of the 2019/20 season. He’s done well enough for top-tier Stuttgart to take him on two consecutive season-long loans before buying him outright a year ago, paying $3.5 million to the London club. It proved a wise decision, as the Swabians stand to make a profit of at least $10 million for the player.

Three years ago, the Premier League looked like a bridge too far for Mavropanos – but his hard work is about to pay off. Another chance for the big guy!
