EDUARDO has completed his £6million switch from Arsenal to Shakhtar Donetesk.
The Croatia striker's move was confirmed by the Ukrainian champions this afternoon.
He has signed a four-year contract with Shakhtar, who won the UEFA Cup in 2009.
A club statement said: "Shakhtar have signed a Brazilian-born Croatian forward Eduardo Da Silva from Arsenal on a four-year contract.
"All the details were agreed tonight at Donbas Arena in Donetsk.
"Within the nearest time the newcomer will be introduced to Ukrainian media as well as to the Pitmen fans."
Eduardo joined Arsenal from Dinamo Zagreb in July 2007 but struggled to recapture his best form after a year out with a broken leg and dislocated ankle.
He scored a total 20 goals in 67 appearances for the Gunners.
He was seriously injured in his debut season for Arsenal against Birmingham in February 2008.
He returned to play four games the following season and 32 the year after as Arsenal finished third in the Premier League.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger said: "It makes me sad when I think of his injury and now because he has left."
