Arsenal have swooped to sign Croatian international striker Eduardo da Silva from Dinamo Zagreb.
The 24-year-old, who scored against England in a Euro 2008 qualifier in October, has signed a four-year contract at the Emirates Stadium.
The fee is undisclosed and Da Silva will be unveiled as an Arsenal player after completing a medical at the club.
Wonder what the gooners think of this one.
Da Silva is the first signing for Arsenal since the departure of Thierry Henry to Barcelona in June.
Henry's move to Spain had left Arsenal with Robin van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor as the only senior strikers at the club.
Nicklas Bendtner is poised to make his presence felt next season after spending the last campaign on loan at Birmingham in the Championship, and now Da Silva will also press for a place.
Da Silva moved from Brazil to Croatia at 15 and took nationality at 22. He has scored seven international goals.
He scored the first competitive goal at the Emirates when Arsenal beat Dinamo Zagreb 5-1 on aggregate in last season's Champions League third qualifying round.
And he finished the Croatian season with a record 34 goals.
