Shakhtar Donetsk striker Eduardo excited about Arsenal return

Shakhtar Donetsk striker Eduardo da Silva is delighted they're in the same Champions League group as former club Arsenal.

The Croatia striker joined Shakhtar Donetsk earlier this summer after a difficult three years with the Gunners.

Eduardo said: "I always had a feeling that Arsenal and Shakhtar would be drawn together in the same group.

"It will be fantastic for me to come back to a club I will always love and respect, to see all my old team-mates and to play again in front of the best fans in England.

"In my opinion, Arsenal and Shakhtar are the favourites to go through."
