Croatian ace Eduardo back on his feet.

The Gunners' striker is well on the way to recovering from the horrific ankle injury he suffered in a Premier League match against Birmingham in February.

Eduardo, who is currently resting back home in his native Brazil, is targeting a comeback with the Gunners this summer.

He revealed: "I am returning to Europe from Brazil at the beginning of August, perhaps even the end of July.

"Doctors tell me by then I will be fully recovered and able to play football again. I hope so too."

Werder Bremen winger Amaury Bischoff has again declared he's joining Arsenal.

The French-born midfielder has had his career tracked by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger since he was a youngster with Strasbourg.

He moved to Bremen in 2005, but has made just one senior appearance for the club against Celta Vigo in the Uefa Cup in 2007.

The 21-year-old was offered a new deal to stay in the Bundesliga, but claims he was unable to turn down the chance to move to Arsenal.

"Bremen was superb, but Arsenal is a huge opportunity for me," Bischoff told Bild. "Wenger has known me since my time at Strasbourg and believes in my quality. He trusts me to be in the first team.

"Wenger has not put me under any pressure. He said, 'Take all the time you need'."

Bremen's managing director Klaus-Dieter Fischer admits the Bundesliga club were keen for Bischoff, who has struggled with injuries in the past, to stay.

Fischer told the club's official website: "We would be happy to have Amaury, but he has decided to take up a new challenge.

"We wish him well and thank him for the past three years."

Villarreal defender Pascal Cygan is aware former club Arsenal are keen on teammate Marcos Senna.

"I have heard that Arsenal are interested in him," Cygan told RMC radio station. "That proves how good he is, as they rarely make mistakes.

"Senna is Villarreal's best player, he is sharp, starts all the plays, and is more technically gifted that most players at his position.

"He had a massive impact on Spain's European victory and improved a lot as a player in the last two seasons."

Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky has thrown away his crutches as he steps up his recovery from knee injury.

"To lose the crutches has been a great relief. For six weeks after the surgery I was strictly ordered not to make a single movement without the crutches," explained Rosicky.

"Now that is over, but I will not remember it kindly. Last Wednesday was the first time I walked without any support. It is nothing great, but at least I can walk.

"I am stumbling and getting used to it. After a long time without proper movements, my knee is stiff. It just needs time.

"In a few days I am flying to England. In London there is a more sophisticated rehabilitation schedule waiting for me.

"I don't know what it will be like, but at least I will be doing something at last. I am sure the Arsenal specialists have thought it through well."


Cesc Fabregas has dedicated Spain's Euro2008 success to his Arsenal fans, and then he now wants to lift trophies for Arsenal.

"Of course, that was the happiest day of my life as a professional footballer," said Fabregas.

"It was also for the Arsenal fans that have been suffering a lot this year. For them, at least one player has won something. It is for them."

Fabregas had suffered defeat in a final before, in the Champions League where they lost to Barcelona two years ago, and he said: "Does it make up for Paris? Definitely. I can see there is a massive difference between losing and winning in a final.

"Even if they say being a finalist is important, there is no way you can replace the feeling of winning.

"Now next year I want to win trophies with Arsenal, this is my target. I finally made something at a young age, I never expected it to be with Spain. Now I want to do it with Arsenal.

"It's the second trophy - I have an FA Cup. But of course a European Championship is not the same."
