Arsenal have officially announced on their website this afternoon that defender Konstantinos Mavropanos will be loaned to Bundesliga 2 side Nurnberg for the remainder of the season.
Mavropanos joined the Gunners two years ago and looked promising from the get-go but injury struggles seem to have set back the ace’s development.
The chance to play regular first-team football for a side that are in a difficult position (16th in German 2nd Division) could work wonders for the Greece Under-21s international.
The 22-year-old has made just one appearance for the Arsenal first-team this season, coming in a Europa League tie against Standard Liege.
Here’s how some supporters reacted to the decision to loan the ace out:

Whilst there’s still plenty of time for the ace to reach his potential, Mavropanos is at the age where he could benefit massively from being given a constant first-team role.
The youngster has the chance to make a case for himself to be handed a more minutes for the Gunners next season if he’s capable of proving himself as a solid mainstay for Nurnberg during his short-term spell.
