West Ham and Bournemouth had scouts in the stands for Armenia's shock Euro qualifying win against Wales.

The Prem pair had scouts posted to check on several Armenia players.

Krasnodar midfielder Eduard Spertsyan and defender Georgy Arutyunyan, along with Nair Tiknizyan from Lokomotiv Moscow are all of interest.

Spertsyan, 23, is of particular interest for the Prem pair.

Ajax and AC Milan are also interested in the youngster.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
