Arsenal have announced the loan departure of defender Konstantinos Mavropanos.

He has joined Nurnburg on loan until the end of the season.

The 22-year-old Greek centre-back has made eight first-team appearances for the Gunners since arriving at the club two years ago.

The Greece under-21 international has featured in recent first team matchday squads and started in our 2-2 draw away to Standard Liege in the UEFA Europa League in December.

Mavropanos has also made 11 appearances for our under-23s this season.
