Eduardo is February's Player of the Month
Eduardo has been chosen by the fans as their Player of the Month for February.
The Croatian striker's season was cut short in horrific circumstances when he broke his left fibula and suffered an open dislocation of his ankle in the opening minutes of the game at Birmingham. But prior to that Eduardo did enough to show that, when he returns, Arsenal can expect plenty more goals from their summer signing.
Eduardo's finest moments of February came right at the start of the month. The 25-year-old was exceptional against Manchester City, combining well with Emmanuel Adebayor and scoring a fine goal with an overhead kick in Arsenal's 3-1 win. Eduardo followed that display with starts against Blackburn, Manchester United and Milan before that fateful trip to St. Andrews.
This is the second time Eduardo has scooped our Player of the Month award and, on this occasion, he polled 36.4 per cent of the votes. Adebayor, our January winner, was second with 18.4 per cent while Mathieu Flamini was third with 11.4 per cent.

Competition winner Chris Smith from Melton Mowbray has won the chance to present our Player of the Month award before the home fixture against Middlesbrough on March 15.
"Eduardo deserves to be player of the month because before his dreadful injury he was showing a more cohesive style of play," said Chris. "He had become an Arsenal player and we are going to miss him."
