Electric Eduardo will make up for Emmanuel Adebayor loss

Croatian star Eduardo is set to save Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger a £20million sortie into the transfer market after the transfer of Emmanuel Adebayor.

Togo front man Adebayor moved to Manchester City for £25m last week and that seemed to leave a huge void for Wenger with the transfer window closing at the end of next month.

But Eduardo has returned to pre-season training in Austria and is in what one insider called "electric form - he's been as good as ever".

And with Nicklas Bendtner, Robin van Persie and Andrei Arshavin also at his disposal, Wenger is now having second thoughts about front-line reinforcements.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, who has been monitored by Wenger, is available at Real Madrid following the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Karim Benzema.

Eduardo, who cost £12m from Dinamo Zagreb two years ago. suffered an horrendous ankle injury in February 2008.

He has since had surgery, but his amazing recovery has surprised training staff.

Wenger will also hear any news in the next few week's about defender Kolo Toure, wanted by Manchester City.
