Leonardo Koutris Scouted by West Ham and Everton as Premier League Clubs Prepare £10m Swoop

​Scouts representing a number of Premier League clubs including Everton and West Ham United have been checking up on Olympiakos full-back Leonardo Koutris.


The 23-year-old has caught the eye of many European sides recently, with Serie A outfit Genoa seeing a £5m bid rejected in January. 


The Greek club have reportedly placed a £10m price tag on Koutris, and according to a report from ​TEAMtalk, four Premier League teams have sent scouts to watch him in action on international duty against Liechtenstein earlier this week.
