Arsenal have made their first attempt to replace Thierry Henry by snapping up Croatia striker Eduardo da Silva from Dinamo Zagreb for an undisclosed fee. You will probably best remember the 24-year-old as the player – other than Gary Neville – who scored in Croatia’s victory over England in the Euro 2008 qualifier last October.
The Brazilian-born striker has seven goals in 12 international appearances for Croatia. He will challenge Emmanuel Adebayor, Robin van Persie and youngster Nicklas Bendtner for a starting place at the Emirates. Here he is scoring a record-breaking 34 goals in the Croatian league last season
