Eduardo, 27, has struggled to recapture his form since suffering a broken leg against Birmingham City in February 2008, and reports had suggested he would be allowed to move on.

"Eduardo is an Arsenal player and I am expecting a lot from him this season," Wenger told Sportske Novosti. "He had a terrible injury - he went through hell - but I think his workrate is fantastic and his determination, which is exceptional, will be of great use to Arsenal."

Besiktas have reportedly shown interest in Eduardo, who joined Arsenal from Dinamo Zagreb in 2007.
