Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish is a big fan of West Bromwich Albion attacker Somen Tchoyi.
Villa face the Baggies in the big Second City derby.
Eck said: "West Brom have pace in attack and a lot of experience. Big ugly defenders; all the ingredients of a good side.
"Long is a handful and Tchoyi is interesting. I watched him when he was at Salzburg, one or two of my coaches have seen him as well and we'll have to be very aware of him."
