West Ham have signed a new centre-back ahead of their trip to the Amex.

They have brought in Greece defender Konstantinos Mavropanos from Stuttgart.

The 25-year-old returns to the Premier League having made seven appearances in the competition during a three-year stint at Arsenal.

He has signed a five-year deal with the Hammers for an undisclosed fee, reported to be in the region of £19 million.

West Ham are missing Nayef Aguerd for their game with Albion after he was sent off in the win over Chelsea.

Mavropanos was signed after a move for Harry Maguire broke down and is the third major summer arrival at the London Stadium following the additions of Edson Alvarez and James Ward-Prowse.
