Eduardo tempted by return to England

Shakhtar Donetsk striker Eduardo says he would like to return to the English Premier League, amid reported interest from Fulham.

The 29-year-old Croatia international, who suffered a horrific leg injury when he broke his left fibula and dislocated his ankle while playing for Arsenal in 2007/08, only managed eight goals in 41 appearances during his time at the club.

However, the Brazilian-born forward would welcome the opportunity to return to London, with reports suggesting Fulham are lining up a 7 million-pound bid.

“No-one else has contacted me or asked for an opinion,” Eduardo told Sportske Novosti.

“You know how it goes with transfers, I learned that even at Dinamo (Zagreb).

“Someone asks the club about me, that club then gets mentioned and immediately it’s a done deal.

“Of course it’s nice to hear that I’m mentioned in England, especially if there’s Premier League interest.”

Since moving to Ukraine in 2010, Eduardo has made 60 appearances, scoring 19 goals.

Fulham opened up their Premier League campaign in impressive style beating Norwich 5-0 at Craven Cottage.
