Current Chivas USA trialist, Artur Aghasyan, has scored 4 goals in 3 preseason matches for the Home Depot-based club.  Many of you may say, “who is Artur Aghasyan?”  Others may remember him from a brief stint with Real Salt Lake last pre-season in Oxnard, California.  Aghasyan played as a guest for Real Salt Lake against Shandong Luneng Taishan, after playing against RSL in a previous exhibition match with his Ventura County Fusion club.  He notched a goal in the 77th minute of that match as RSL routed the Chinese side 6-0.

Aghasyan is a bit of a legend in the Ventura area, and has a following, especially among the local Armenian community.  But before anyone gets too excited, goals can be much easier to come by in the preseason especially against lower level competition.  Either way, this is a guy to keep your eye on:

EDIT: I wasn’t aware of this, but apparently Artur is Yura Movsisyan’s cousin.
