Eduardo is looking forward to playing against former club Arsenal in the Champions League

Eduardo has admitted he would prefer not to face former club Arsenal in the Champions League.

Arsene Wenger says he will not buy a replacement for Eduardo da Silva following the Croatia striker’s 6million move to Shakhtar Donetsk earlier this week.

He may never have fully delivered the goods for Arsenal, but injury and controversy ensured Eduardo certainly made his mark in England.

Eduardo will sign for 6million

Eduardo da Silva will clinch a 6million move from Arsenal to Shakhtar Donetsk in the next 48 hours after taking advice from Croatia boss Slaven Bilic.

Valencia are reported to be showing an interest in Arsenal striker Eduardo even though Arsene Wenger is keen to keep hold.
