Mavropanos, who is also wanted by Olympiacos, has represented Greece Under-21’s and is recognised as one of his country’s best prospects.

The deal for the highly-rated youngster is still at an early stage but is expected to go through. 

Mavropanos, who is likely to go out on loan if he signs for Arsenal, is one of the players to be identified by the club’s new scouting team, led by newly appointed head of recruitment Sven Mislintat.
