Arsenal, Borussia Dortmund and Inter all sent scouts to take in Greece's clash against Slovakia on Friday, with watching Olympiacos striker Kostas Mitroglou their aim.
Greece won the match 1-0, thanks to an own goal from Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel, with Mitroglou failing to find the back of the net despite 88 minutes of action in Piraeus.
But Mitroglou has firm fans, with the trio, according to Portuguese daily A Bola, set to next watch the striker in action at club level, when Olympiacos take on Benfica in the Champions League on 23rd October.
