ARSENAL defender Konstantinos Mavropanos has joined Stuttgart on a season-long loan.
The Bundesliga outfit have paid a loan fee of £500,000 to bring the defender back to the club, having spent the 2020/21 season on loan there too.

And the deal will be made permanent in a deal worth up to £5million should Stuttgart avoid relegation, according to The Athletic.
They will be obliged to pay £3million for Mavropanos, and bonuses up to £1.5m are also included in the deal.
The 23-year-old has agreed a three-year deal should the permanent transfer clause be activated.
Arsenal, meanwhile, have not agreed a sell-on fee with the German club.
But after signing in 2018 for a fee in the region of £2.2m, the Gunners will make a small profit on the Greece international, whose career at the Emirates never kicked off.
He was signed by Arsene Wenger but only made eight appearances for the club, failing to impress Unai Emery and Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal are aiming to improve their defensive options and have targeted Brighton and England defender Ben White.
The Seagulls want £50m for the centre-back but the Gunners are plotting a deal worth £45m, plus £5m in add-ons.
But talks between the two parties have taken place and agreeing personal terms should not be a problem.
