Encyclopedic overview
Eduardo Alves da Silva ( Brazilian Portuguese: [eduˈaʁdu dɐ ˈsiwvɐ], Croatian: [eduâːrdo da sǐlva]; born 25 February 1983), known as simply Eduardo or Dudu, is a former professional footballer who played as a striker for multiple clubs and the Croatia national team.
He began his career with his hometown club in Brazil, Bangu Atlético Clube. He later joined Dinamo Zagreb's youth team. He spent a period on loan at Inter Zaprešić, scoring ten goals in 15 matches. His prolific scoring at Dinamo Zagreb, where he scored 73 times in 109 league appearances, attracted the interest of Arsenal who signed him for a fee of £7.5 million in 2007. A serious leg injury hampered his time with Arsenal and, after three seasons with the club, he moved to Shakhtar Donetsk in 2010.
