[Dzyuba’s equaliser](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49519721) for Russia on Friday night was his [21st goal in 37 caps for Russia](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/artem-dzyuba/nationalmannschaft/spieler/48067/verein_id/3448), with the 31-year-old striker boasting [56 goals in 148 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/artem-dzyuba/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/48067) for current club Zenit St. Petersburg.

> 31 years old. Wouldn’t have thought this would be a player we would go after. We didn’t go for Rondom cause of his age and he was younger.

> As much as I love our progression as a club I do wonder. Haven’t we got any scouts in the U.K.? Surely there is talent here at home.
